Trade Human development indicator BRIC GMM a b s t r a c tThis paper looks into the causal association between economic growth, CO 2 emission, trade volume, and human development indicator for Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC countries) during 1980e2013. Following a generalized method of moments (GMM) technique, we have found out that bidirectional causality exists between CO 2 emissions and economic growth. Feedback hypothesis is supported between CO 2 emissions and human development, trade volume and human development, economic growth, and human development, and CO 2 emissions and trade volume. Apart from finding out the unidirectional association from trade volume to economic growth, this study also validated the existence of Environmental Kuznets curve. Empirical findings of the study substantiate that the policymakers of the BRIC nations must focus on the green energy initiatives, either by in-house development or by technology transfer. This movement will allow them to control the ambient air pollution prevalent in these nations.

“…Human capital is defined as the human resource with inbuilt characteristics of knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies acquired throughout their life (Alexandre et al, 2012).The importance of human capital concepts has been evidenced in a wide range of theoretical and empirical studies, and related policy decisions (Kenneth, 2006) because investing in human capital to enhance human capital endowment is seen by some developing countries that have either insufficient natural resources or to acquire enough physical resources for their economic development as one of the strategies to become the country with enough competency in the global market. For instance, the Japan has become major industrial complex in the world market because of the investment in human capital.…”

Article HistoryThis study investigates whether human capital serves as a pushing factor of exports of goods and services. Thus, this study takes four South Asian countries such as Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka into an account to test the relationship between human capital and export performance. The time series data that were extracted from the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program statistical databases, running from 1990 to 2015, used for data analysis. Following the Hausman test, the study employs Fixed Effect model to derive the results. The results suggest that human capital has a positive and significant effect on export performance in these countries, and lead to conclude that focusing on human capital development to enhance the export performance can be seen as one of the strategies to overcome trade deficit.Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes in the existing literature by investigating whether human capital can be a potential to enhance export performance in the South Asian countries. The results derive from this study pass a message to the policy makers to be concentrated over the human capital development to sustain the external sectors in the countries.

“…Some of the questions were supposed to be answered using the Likert scale [Allen, Seaman, 2007], others included the "Other" option with the opportunity to provide a detailed open answer. The questionnaire has been used in previous human resources management surveys of international [Ardichvili et al, 2012;Zavyalova et al, 2011] and Russian "best employer" companies [Kucherov, Zavyalova, 2012], and has proven its reliability. The main sample is comprised of the largest Russian public companies on the 2014 Forbes Global 2000 list [Forbes, 2014].…”

O ne of the main sources of competitiveness on the modern economy are the intangible assets of companies. In the structure of the intellectual capital assigned to human resources and human capital, the knowledge, skills, creativity, and employees' motivation play a special role. The quality of human resources affects the value of the company and human resource management practices, which in turn affect the quality of its human resources.The article focuses on a resource-based view of the firm and human capital theory as fundamental perspectives, linking human resources to achieving a sustainable competitive advantage for the company.The empirical study tested the assumption that Russian companies, the leaders on the world economy, implement management strategies and practices that facilitate the efficient use of human resources in order to achieve one's main goals, which distinguishes them from companies that have not reached a level of international competitiveness. Keywords:human capital; human resource development; strategic management; international competitiveness; Forbes Global 2000The main tool for research is a questionnaire -the standard "Investors in People" survey -that is used to assess the effectiveness of policies and practices of the management and development of human resources at companies. The survey involved representatives in executive management positions at 41 public Russian companies; 14 of the surveyed companies were included on the Forbes Global 2000 (2014) and possessed the traits of competitiveness.The results showed that at companies with competitive features, there is a pronounced tendency for the greater involvement of employees in the process of goal-setting and decision-making. There were also some differences in the practice of management personnel between companies with and without indicators of competitiveness. In general, the assumption that Russian companies have reached a level of leadership at a global level, using more effective policies and management practices, and the development of human resources to achieve its goals, as a result of the study, is confirmed.
