Literature reviews

In any country, the security of card information relies upon the bank's traditions, systems, and general security levels. While looking into distortion in Asia, They have seen that various banks have woefully poor wellbeing endeavors in perspective of the nonappearance of benefits or cognizance of the risks. Logically, the onus is on the card supporter rather than the card customer to envision blackmail.

One of the banks' standard contraptions is blackmail disclosure programming that looks for amazing models and peculiarities. Another is ground-breaking wellbeing endeavors over the control of the card per clients. In any case, the setting aside some cash part outside of the United States and Europe just every now and then uses these ID strategies. (Linnitt, 2004)

Stephen F. Pirog and James A. Roberts have analyzed the Visa abuse among the undergrads. They found that Visa abuse has a negative effect or worries for the advertisers. They have examined the identity which assumes a key job in the abuse of credit card among the undergrads. They have connected the 3M various leveled model of identity on the served information from 254 understudies. They discovered four distinctive identity qualities which were the explanation for the abuse of the charge card (SF Pirog, 2007).

The examination was finished by jeff joireman, Jeremy kees and David sprott break down whether transient presentation coordinates the impact of ongoing obtaining tendencies (CBT) on Credit card commitment. Candidates completed the worry of future results scale, a routine buying scale, and uncovered their charge card commitment.

Results revealed that CBT mediated the association between stress with incite results and Visa commitment, and high stress with fast results enhanced the impact of CBT on charge card commitment. This suggests constant buyers who fixate on enhancing brief results are at much higher peril of working up an enormous measure of Credit card commitment (Jeff joireman, 2010).

Jill M. Norvilitis (2014) have considered the adjustments in the scratch and ownership of charge cards by the understudies. They additionally contemplated the understudy's frame of mind and conduct towards the abuse of Credit Card .He found that over the timeframe quantities of charge cards and obligation has been diminished because of the presentation of Credit card act in the USA. The Attitude turns out to be increasingly negative while money related prosperity was an expansion (NORVILITIS, 2014).

HyeJung (2015) Park has inspected the diverse design introduction in influencing the impulsive purchasing and abuse of charge card. He found that distinctive mold intrigue has fundamentally expanded spending and furthermore in a roundabout way influencing the abuse of the charge card (Park, 2015).

Bluff A. Robb has completed an examination to discover the connection between money related data and Credit Card lead of students. The extensive openness of Credit Card has raised stresses over how students may use those cards given the negative outcomes identified with credit abuse and botch. He has utilized a case of 1,354 understudies from a critical southeastern school, results prescribe that cash related data is a colossal factor in the charge card selections of students (Robb, 2011).

A Credit Card has the brand name and logo of an association that controls and coordinates the cards. A bank, which is required to meet the measures set by the charge card association, truly issues the card. The Visa association raises resources from charges to the bank. These charges consolidate fines for bad conduct. Exactly when a customer procures an adversity as a result of blackmail, the Credit card association supports it, in any case, it recuperates the money from the issuing bank.

This relationship is basic in light of the way that regardless of the way that the customer takes comfort from seeing the charge card association picture on their card, the obligation of "disapproving" for them truly happens to the issuing bank. Moreover, when a customer makes a purchase at a retailer, the issuing bank probably won't have a Visa terminal in the retail outlet. Clearly, banks share workplaces accordingly any card per client will have the ability to process the trade. In any case, this suggests the trade is depended to the methods of one more bank (Linnitt, 2004).

Data and methodology

The data has been collected through the using the second data collection method. The Secondary data is collected from the various research papers on the Credit card misuse topic, research articles, websites. The research is based on the secondary data and theories which is already done by the other research on the same topic.

The main tool for collecting data which is used in the research is quantitative. These types of data collection benefit the researcher because of its low cost and ease of access. Secondary data collected in this research will support the primary data to reach the research goal with accurate results in a professional manner.

The secondary data were collected over the journals, articles, websites, and books which discussing the same issue in this research but sometimes its deviant according to special circumstances.

Research Methodology:

This is the most appropriate analysis method to analyze non-numerical data. Whereas, the quantitative data collected from the survey answers have a transformable type from textual shape to be summarized, presented and analyzed in charts and graphs using statistical tools. Thus, the results will be understandable, comparable and more useful to the users.

Secondary data:

Secondary data has been collected from the two stock exchanges about the several stocks, inflation and interest rate. The quantitative method has been used in the report and for the analysis purpose, we have used the statistical methods such as regression and correlation has been used.

Result and Analysis

Regression:

We have performed the regression analysis form the above data set where in Dubai index was chosen as the dependent variable and the other two were the independent variable i.e. interest rate and Inflation rate.

Below is the output of the regression analysis of the selected data set.

UAE stock and Interest rate, Inflation:

SUMMARY OUTPUT

  • Regression Statistics
  • Multiple R 0.119191
  • R Square 0.014207
  • Adjusted R Square 0.013855
  • Standard Error 0.013125
  • Observations 2803

 

As per the above calculation, we see that R-square is very and it is 14% which means that the variability of the Y which is the dependent variable is cannot be explained by the entire set of data independent variables which is Interest rate and inflation.

This shows there is no relationship between the Stock index and the other two variable i.e. interest rate and inflation. These two variables impact the stock index to a very large extent.

ANOVA

  • df SS MS F Significance F
  • Regression 1 0.006954 0.006954 40.36602 0.0000
  • Residual 2801 0.482523 0.000172
  • Total 2802 0.489477

 

The significance level is less than 0.05 from the above ANOVA calculation. This is used to decide whether there is any liner relationship between the selected variables. The p-value suggests that all two variables have a liner relationship between the three variables.

For example, the Null hypothesis would be Interest and inflation rate has to impact on the Stock index whereas Alternate would be these tow variable does not affect the Stock index. So looking at the p-Value, we would accept the null Hypothesis as value is less than the 0.05 which mean Interest rate and Inflation has an impact on the stock index.

USA stock and Interest rate, Inflation:

SUMMARY OUTPUT

  • Regression Statistics
  • Multiple R 0.012255841
  • R Square 0.000150206
  • Adjusted R Square -0.000233467
  • Standard Error 1.183760183
  • Observations 2608

 

The R-square is very low which means that the dependent variable cannot be explained by the selected data set of independent variables.

ANOVA

  • df SS MS F Significance F

  • Total 2607 3652.30557

 

The significance level is more than 0.05 from the above ANOVA calculation. This is used to decide whether there is any liner relationship between the selected variables. The p-value suggests that all two variables have no liner relationship between the three variables.

Interception:

Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Lower 95% Upper 95% Lower 95.0% Upper 95.0%

When we look at the individual variable to test the T-test again these variables fails the test as p-value is more than the 0.05 of significance level. This shows there is not a significant relationship among these variables but to a certainextent, they do have.

Above are the descriptive stats about the selected stocks from both countries i.e. UAE and USA. We see than each stock has a different standard deviation which represents the risk in the stock. Each descriptive analysis shows the mean, standard deviation, ranges of the data, skewness of the sample, Median and mode of the data set.

Correlation analysis

Above table shows the correlation between the three variable which is a stock index, inflation rate, and interest rate. We see that the correlation between the two stock with Inflation and interest rate is low which only 0.04% to 7% has. When we looked at the other stock we see that there are a positive correlation among them and low correlation with inflation and interest rate.

USA Stock, Inflation and Interest rate:

US-DS Industrials - PRICE INDEX -0.021895353 -0.03383792 0.7880433 0.87112587 1

From the above analysis, we see that there is a negative correlation between the Interest rate and US Index and 33 -41% of the correlation between the Inflation rate and stock index. Correlation between the interest rate and inflation is very low which only 32%.

Comments and discussion

We have carried out the regression analysis which shows that there is a significant relationship between the stock index, interest rate, and inflation. We have performed the regression analysis form the above data set where in Dubai Utility index was chosen as the dependent variable and the other two were the independent variable i.e. interest rate and Inflation rate. We have to use the various stocks from the UAE and USA to do the regression analysis which shows that there is less relationship between the stock and the other two variables.

According to the above computation, we see that R-square is low and it is 14% which implies that the changeability of the Y which is the needy variable is not clarified by the whole arrangement of information and factors which are Interest rate and swelling. This shows there is a connection between the Stock file and the other two variable i.e. financing cost and expansion. These two factors affect the stock record to a vast degree.

The credit card misuse is becoming a concern among the individuals and there are various reasons which increase the misuse of credit cards. The interest rate has a huge impact on the credit card spending as interest rate increases then the individual has to pay more interest on the spending and if the interest rate is low then there would be low changes on the amount spend through the credit cards. The interest rate is very much important for the credit card holders as if any changes in the interest rate would impact the credit card payment.
