This study examines the long-run impact of remittances on economic growth in Bangladesh. Bangladesh, being one of the top remittance-recipient countries in the world, has drawn attention to the remittance-output relationship in recent years. In 2014, remittances contributed to 8.2% of GDP of Bangladesh while the contribution was 6.7% in 2006. The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of the remittance on economic growth (GDP). We adopted Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) models or dynamic linear regressions are widely used to examine the relationship between remittances and economic growth in the country. In testing for the unit root properties of the time series data, all variables are found stationary at first differencing level under the ADF and PP stationary tests. The study made use of diagnostic tests such as the residual normality test, heteroskedacity and serial autocorrelation tests for misspecification in order to validate the parameter estimation outcomes achieved by the estimated model. The stability test of the model is also checked by CUSUM test. The ARDL model presents that there exist a statistically significant long run positive relationship between remittance and economic growth of gross domestic product in Bangladesh.

The article deals with the situation in the Russian higher education system. The factors affecting the improvement of the quality of higher education are analyzed. The emphasis is on mass universities. The main obstacles to improving the quality of education in these institutions are the Institute of collective reputation and the high costs of the struggle for improving the quality of education.The necessity of focusing on the actuation of the internal resources to improve the quality associated with the change in the educational process: giving students the right to choose the timing exams and training period at university. The implementation of the proposed measures will reduce the opportunity costs associated with quality improvement activities. The proposed change in the organization of the learning process opens the possibility to estimate the activity of universities in terms of medium-term implementation of educational programs. The use of this indicator will not only combine the two different targets of universities, but also to minimize the costs of opportunistic behavior of teachers and management.
