Research Paper Structure Using TPB or DOI Model

 

1️⃣ Title of the Study (Example Topics)

📌 For TPB:
"Behavioral Intentions Toward Stock Market Investment Among Young Investors: A TPB Approach."

📌 For DOI:
"Diffusion of Digital Payments in Rural Jharkhand: A DOI-Based Study."

2️⃣ Research Objectives

✅ For TPB:

  • To analyze the role of attitude, social norms, and perceived behavioral control in influencing stock market investments.
  • To examine how demographics (age, income, education) moderate investment behavior.

✅ For DOI:

  • To identify the stages of digital payment adoption among users in rural India.
  • To assess how factors like awareness, trust, and government initiatives impact fintech adoption.

3️⃣ Literature Review

  • Review studies using TPB for investment behavior, mutual funds, stock markets, and insurance.
  • Discuss research on DOI in financial inclusion, digital banking, and fintech adoption in India.

📌 Use sources from Scopus, SSRN, Emerald, Google Scholar, and RBI reports.

4️⃣ Conceptual Framework

✅ For TPB:

  • Independent Variables: Attitude (ATB), Subjective Norms (SN), Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC)
  • Dependent Variable: Behavioral Intention (BI) to invest in financial markets

✅ For DOI:

  • Identify respondents as Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, or Laggards.
  • Measure awareness, perceived risk, ease of access, and external influence.

📌 Visualize the model using SmartPLS or AMOS.

5️⃣ Research Methodology

  • Research Design: Quantitative survey-based
  • Sample Size: 300–500 respondents
  • Sampling Technique: Stratified random sampling
  • Data Collection: Google Forms, field surveys, online responses
  • Analysis Tools: SPSS, AMOS, SmartPLS for hypothesis testing

6️⃣ Hypothesis Development (Example)

📌 For TPB:
H1: Attitude toward investing positively influences investment intention.
H2: Social norms impact financial decision-making.
H3: Perceived ease of investment influences participation.

📌 For DOI:
H1: Early adopters influence mass fintech adoption.
H2: Trust in technology impacts the speed of diffusion.
H3: Demographics influence the adoption category (innovators vs. laggards).

7️⃣ Data Analysis & Interpretation

  • Descriptive statistics (age, income, digital literacy)
  • Factor analysis & reliability testing
  • Regression/SEM analysis to test hypotheses

📌 Use SPSS for regression or SmartPLS for structural equation modeling.

8️⃣ Conclusion & Implications

  • For TPB: Suggest ways to improve financial literacy, risk perception, and market participation.
  • For DOI: Recommend strategies for faster fintech adoption in rural India (government policies, awareness campaigns, infrastructure).

Shodhganaga vs Shodhgangotri

  Shodhganga and Shodhgangotri are both initiatives by the INFLIBNET Centre (Information and Library Network Centre) in India. They aim to promote research and knowledge sharing in the academic community but serve different purposes. Here’s a comparison: Feature Shodhganga Shodhgangotri Purpose Repository for completed theses and dissertations. Repository for research proposals and synopses. Content Full-text doctoral theses and dissertations submitted by universities. Approved research proposals and synopses of doctoral students. Focus Stage of Research Final stage – after the research is completed. Initial stage – before the research begins. Target Audience Researchers looking for completed, peer-reviewed research work. Scholars looking for examples or ideas for research topics and methodologies. Utility ...

Two-Step System GMM (Generalized Method of Moments)

 The Two-Step System GMM is a dynamic panel data estimation technique designed to address: Endogeneity of explanatory variables Unobserved heterogeneity (fixed effects) Autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity It improves upon simpler estimators (like OLS or FE) and is particularly useful when the model includes lagged dependent variables . ⚙️ System GMM: The Basics Developed by Arellano & Bover (1995) and Blundell & Bond (1998) , System GMM combines: Difference GMM (Arellano & Bond, 1991): First-differences the model to remove fixed effects and uses lagged levels as instruments . Level GMM (Blundell & Bond) : Uses lagged differences as instruments for the level equation to improve efficiency. 🧮 The Dynamic Panel Model A typical dynamic panel data model is: y i t = α y i t − 1 + β X i t + μ i + ε i t y_{it} = \alpha y_{it-1} + \beta X_{it} + \mu_i + \varepsilon_{it} y i t ​ = α y i t − 1 ​ + β X i t ​ + μ i ​ + ε i t ​ Where: y...

Panel Stationarity Tests: CADF and CIPS Explained

 When dealing with panel data , testing for stationarity (i.e., whether variables have a constant mean and variance over time) is crucial before estimation—especially in macroeconomic and financial studies. Two advanced second-generation panel unit root tests used to check for stationarity while accounting for cross-sectional dependence are: 🔹 1. CADF (Cross-sectionally Augmented Dickey-Fuller) Test 📌 Developed by: Pesaran (2007) CADF is an extension of the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test that augments each ADF regression with cross-sectional averages to account for cross-sectional dependence . 🔍 Model Form: For each unit i i i , the CADF regression is: Δ y i t = a i + b i y i , t − 1 + c i y ˉ t − 1 + d i Δ y ˉ t + ∑ j = 1 p ϕ i j Δ y i , t − j + ε i t \Delta y_{it} = a_i + b_i y_{i,t-1} + c_i \bar{y}_{t-1} + d_i \Delta \bar{y}_{t} + \sum_{j=1}^{p} \phi_{ij} \Delta y_{i,t-j} + \varepsilon_{it} Δ y i t ​ = a i ​ + b i ​ y i , t − 1 ​ + c i ​ y ˉ ​ t − 1 ​ + d i ...
