The basic purpose of our research paper is to evaluate the impact of Capital Structure on the Firms Financial Performance and Shareholders Wealth in textile sector of Pakistan. We have conducted the regression analysis on our sample data of 155 textile firms for the year 2006 to 2011.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between students' impression management and their academic performance. Through two independent studies data were collected from 311 graduate students (study‐1), and 183 postgraduate research students and their research supervisors (study‐2) from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) situated in Punjab province of Pakistan. Findings of Study 1 revealed that students employ certain tactics and styles of impression management in their interpersonal interactions with teachers and fellows; moreover, it was found that exemplification, and self‐promotion tactics and authentic acting IM style are positively associated with their academic performance (i.e., GPA). Study 2 shows that research students' use of self‐promotion and exemplification IM tactics are positively associated with their supervisor rated performance through perceived competence. In addition, study 2 revealed that supervisor's perceptions of deceitfulness play the boundary condition role in the relationship between student impression management and its positive outcomes (i.e., perceived competence, and supervisor rated performance) in such a way that the relationships are weaker (vs. stronger) when supervisor perception of impression manager's deceitfulness is higher (vs. lower). Important implications for theory and practice, limitations, directions for future research, and policy guidelines are discussed.

This study explores the transmission role of efficiency in the relationship between bank competition and stability consisting 88 commercial banks in four South Asian economies (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) over the time period of 2012–2018. Both efficiency adjusted Lerner index and Boone indicator are used to measure the bank competition. The results using two‐step system generalized method of moment propose that efficiency adjusted Lerner index and Boone indicator has significant negative influence on the stability of banks. The main findings are strongly in the favor of the postulate that efficiency plays a transmission role in the relationship between bank competition and stability. The results provide significant policy implications for policy makers regarding commercial bank's stability.

Current study empirically analyzes bank specific factors and macroeconomic factors that determine the liquidity reserves of banks functioning in Pakistan. To highlight the association, current study performed random effects estimates on a data set of 20 banks from 2006 to 2016.  Bank specific factors include bank size, capital and credit Risk. GDP and Inflation are the macroeconomic factors that were considered. Market competition has been measured through HHI. Based on panel data analysis, current study suggests that bank specific factors (except capital), macroeconomic factors and market competition significantly affect liquidity reserves of banks in Pakistan. These factors include bank size, credit risk, market competition, GDP and inflation. In addition, bank size, credit risk, GDP and Inflation revealed a negative effect on bank liquidity. On the other hand, market competition revealed a positive effect on bank liquidity. Capital showed an insignificant effect on bank liquidity.
