Methods: Household surveys were used to collect data from tea workers. Sixty households were selected for the study and face-to-face interview was conducted to collect data. A random sampling technique was used to select the sample. Vulnerability assessment tools were used to assess the vulnerability to income. Regression analysis was employed to determine the factors affecting income vulnerability. Results: The result of the study showed that 95% of workers out of the total sampled workers were high vulnerable, i.e., they have a greater probability to fall in future income vulnerability and only 5% had a low probability to fall. The exposure variables such as gender, education, family size, and expenditure had significant effect on tea workers to become income vulnerable, but the variables such as gender, family size, and expenditure had a negative relationship with t...

The Johansen cointegration framework was applied to identify market integration between cultured and captured species using monthly wholesale price data for the period January 2010 to May 2017. The study showed that the law of one price was rejected in all market pairs except the pangasius and long-whiskered catfish pair, suggesting imperfectly integrated markets. The study revealed mixed evidence of weak exogeneity tests, including cultured and captured led markets as well as bidirectional relationships. Given the fact that cultured fish accounts for a substantial market share, the implication is that the supply growth of aquaculture, all other things being equal, reduces captured fish prices and, subsequently, reduces overexploitation, overcapacity, and the number of fishers in a situation where overexploitation is prevalent. This appears to lead to a double gain in the long run, with fish farmers producing and fishers catching more fish.

I am also indebted to my teacher of econometrics, PD Dr Christian Franke, for his cordial cooperation in conceptualizing the econometric models. His supportive suggestions and intellectual perception helped me carry out the study. I am grateful to Mr Yousef Jameel for the finance and study support, through the Yousef Jameel Scholarship. The fellowship created a good basis for my life in Europe and my PhD research. My sincere gratitude and cordial thanks are extended to Mrs Helga Meaini and Mrs Kerstin Oertel for their time, support, and logistic help in conducting the research, as well as encouragement to complete the study. Appreciation and cordial thanks are also extended to Mr Atiqur Raman, Mr Gazi Mostofa Kabir Uddin, and Mr Md. Abul Fajal who volunteered for conducting the survey in Bangladesh. I also gratefully acknowledge the supportive help from Mr Md. Shohel Aaban Rana as his expertise on computer composition and other computer related knowledge was applied to this work. Endless love and affection to my wife, Shawkat Ara Popy, daughter, Maliha Zareen Tasnim, and son, Fakir Abdullah Ahmed Araf, for their sacrifice, compromise and inspiration in the time of my research work and study period in Europe. iii Table of contents Acknowledgements .
