    Purpose - Political globalization is a crucial and distinct component of strengthening global organizations. Obesity is a global epidemic in a few nations, and it is on the verge of becoming a pandemic that would bring plenty of diseases. This research aims to see how the political globalization index affects worldwide human obesity concerning global human development levels. Methods- To assess any cross-sectional dependence among observed 109 nations, the yearly period from 1990 to 2017 is analyzed using second generation panel data methods. KAO panel cointegration test and Fully Modified Least Square model were used to meet our objectives. Finding- Low level of political globalization tends to increase global human obesity because countries cannot sway international decisions and resources towards them. While the high level of political globalization tends to reduce obesity because it can control and amends international decisions. For the regression model, a fully modified Least Square model was utilized. The study observed that the R squared values for all models are healthy, with a minimum of 87 percent variables explaining differences in global obesity at the country level. Originality: There is very important to tackle the globalization issue to reduce global human obesity. With the simplicity of dietary options and the amount of physical labour they undergo in their agricultural duties, an increase in rural population percentage tends to lower the average national obesity value.

    (2024) Munir, Mubbasher; Zakaria, Zahrahtul Amani; Baig, Atif Amin; Mohamad, Mumtazimah Binti; Arshed, Noman; Alhajj, Reda
    Purpose: Recent studies in economics showed that humans are bounded rational. This being consumers, they are not perfect judges of what matters for the standard of living. While with a marked increase in economic and social wellbeing, there is a consistent rise in obesity levels, especially in the developed world. Thus, this study intends to explore the empirical and socio-economic antecedents of human obesity across countries using six global indexes. Methods: This study used the data of 40 countries between 1975 to 2018 and used the Panel FGLS Regression with the quadratic specification. Findings: The results showed that health and food indicators increase global human obesity, environment and education indicators decrease global human obesity, and economic and social indicators follow an inverted U-shaped pattern in affecting global human obesity. Originality: Previous studies have used infant mortality and life expectancy as the major health indicator in determining the standard of living while overlooking global human obesity as a major deterrent to welfare. This study has provided a holistic assessment of the causes of obesity in global contexts.

    On globalization and business competitiveness: A panel data country classification
    (Ascociacion Internacional de Economia Aplicada, 2021) Hameed, Kamran; Arshed, Noman; Yazdani, Naveed; Munir, Mubbasher
    Industrial competitiveness could be achieved through policies reforms favoring globalization process. The reality, however, is two-folded. Initially, government policies restrict globalization and impose barriers to trade, restrict social and political activities. Structural reforms become inevitable to remain in the competition. Local resources, human capital, infrastructure, education and health facilities should be transformed. It is done through deploying a flexible structure that is adapting social, political and economic changes coming from the globalization process in order to make the local industry competitive. This paper argues that beneficiaries of globalization earn this status through strategizing and processing their resources into a competitive position. This gap is covered by empirically investigating the U-shaped relationship between globalization and competitiveness. Furthermore, categorizing the selected countries into under or over globalized nations.
