The article marks a transformative shift from traditional economic institutions to technologically driven ones. This study explores the institutionalization of the crypto-economy through the lens of institutional theory, examining the roles of regulatory, cognitive and normative pillars. Our findings indicate that these institutional pillars significantly influence the development of the crypto-economy. Specifically, the regulatory pillar mediates the relationship between the social pillar and the crypto-economy, highlighting the indirect but substantial impact of a country’s social framework on crypto-economic growth. We refer to the cognitive and normative pillars collectively as the social pillars.Technological advancements and the rise of blockchain technology have spurred the growth of innovative fintech organizations, creating profitable investment opportunities and addressing cross-industry challenges such as data security and transparency. Although existing literature primarily focuses on micro-level drivers, it is crucial to conduct macro-level analysis to understand the broader institutional factors that support the development of the crypto-economy, as micro-level insights alone do not adequately capture macro-level growth dynamics.As a result, our research employs path analysis using global institutional indicators, demonstrating that the cognitive and normative institutional pillars significantly influence the regulatory pillar, which in turn affects the crypto-economy. These findings suggest that countries with robust institutional frameworks are better positioned to adopt and benefit from crypto-economic technologies.Furthermore, understanding these macro-level factors can guide policymakers in less absorptive countries to stimulate regulatory institutions that support the crypto-economy. This institutional perspective is crucial for identifying future leaders and laggards in crypto-economic development and for understanding inter-country differences in crypto-economy adoption.In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of a supportive institutional framework for the development and adoption of the crypto-economy, emphasizing the interconnected growth of fintech technology and the need for empirical research to address broader developmental issues.
这篇文章标志着从传统经济体制到技术驱动型经济体制的转变。本研究从制度理论的角度探讨了加密经济的制度化问题,研究了监管、认知和规范支柱的作用。我们的研究结果表明,这些制度支柱对加密经济的发展有重大影响。具体来说,监管支柱是社会支柱与加密经济之间关系的中介,凸显了一个国家的社会框架对加密经济增长的间接但实质的影响。我们将认知支柱和规范支柱统称为社会支柱。技术进步和区块链技术的兴起刺激了创新型金融科技组织的发展,创造了有利可图的投资机会,并解决了数据安全和透明度等跨行业挑战。尽管现有文献主要关注微观层面的驱动因素,但进行宏观层面的分析以了解支持加密经济发展的更广泛的制度因素至关重要,因为仅有微观层面的见解并不能充分捕捉宏观层面的增长动态。因此,我们的研究采用了使用全球制度指标的路径分析,表明认知和规范性制度支柱对监管支柱有显著影响,而监管支柱又反过来影响加密经济。这些研究结果表明,拥有健全制度框架的国家更有能力采用加密经济技术并从中受益。此外,了解这些宏观层面的因素可以指导吸收能力较弱的国家的政策制定者激励支持加密经济的监管制度。总之,本研究强调了支持性制度框架对发展和采用加密经济的重要性,强调了金融科技技术的发展相互关联,并强调了开展实证研究以解决更广泛的发展问题的必要性。

The COVID-19 pandemic, a black swan event, created an unprecedented global health hazard and disrupted global economic activities. During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, various governments announced lockdowns. India went under lockdown from 25 March 2020 for 21 days. These lockdowns disrupted the social fabric and economic activities. We examined the demographic and socio-economic determinants of COVID-19 infections and deaths across over 400 districts in India. Using statistical methods, we observed that the infection patterns demonstrate localized characteristics across districts. Areas with a larger male population and higher economic activity witnessed higher infection rates. Districts with more agricultural and backward caste populations and inferior latrine facilities experienced significantly higher mortality rates after controlling for infections and other variables, indicating that a higher concentration of economically deprived populations experience higher mortality. Mobility in spatially contiguous locations appears to be a significant determinant of new infections. Our study emphasizes the role of socio-economic factors in explaining the variation across districts. The findings support the need for locally-specific policy and social-distancing measures to control the spread.
COVID-19 大流行病这一黑天鹅事件造成了前所未有的全球健康危害,并扰乱了全球经济活动。在第一波 COVID-19 大流行期间,各国政府纷纷宣布封锁。印度从 2020 年 3 月 25 日开始封锁 21 天。这些封锁扰乱了社会结构和经济活动。我们研究了印度 400 多个地区 COVID-19 感染和死亡的人口和社会经济决定因素。通过统计方法,我们观察到各地区的感染模式呈现出局部特征。男性人口较多、经济活动较活跃的地区感染率较高。在控制了感染和其他变量后,农业人口和落后种姓人口较多、厕所设施较差的地区死亡率明显较高,这表明经济贫困人口较集中的地区死亡率较高。在空间上毗邻的地点流动似乎是新感染的一个重要决定因素。我们的研究强调了社会经济因素在解释地区间差异中的作用。研究结果表明,有必要采取针对当地的政策和社会疏导措施来控制病毒的传播。

Migration for Business: A Case Study of Goa 商业移民:果阿案例研究

As the government eases out of economic activities and its role as an employer declines over time, there is a growing focus on attracting business and entrepreneurship and creating a conducive environment for their growth. Goa witnesses high rates of in-migration from the rest of India. However, census data reveal that of the total migration to Goa, only 2.7% of it is for business.This study uses census data to analyse the relative importance of population, distance, literacy and gross state domestic product (GSDP) in the volume and direction of migration flows through a gravity model analysis. In the case of population, it is observed that a high population at the source state means a higher degree of outmigration. This may be due to greater competition for scarce resources and lower costs of setting up business in the destination. The highest numbers of business migrants are from the neighbouring states of Maharashtra and Karnataka, which indicates that distance may be a deterrent to mobility, especially among women migrants. Educational attainment is not a very important determinant of migration for business. Similarly, economic growth does not seem to deter outmigration, indicating that better opportunities and cost-minimization at the destination may spur migration in spite of high economic growth in the home state.From the field study, it is observed that the majority of the businesspersons are Hindu males from the general caste. While economic factors serve as important push and pull factors, social factors are an important pull factor and determine the ease of settlement in the host state. They come to Goa for the long term and intend to settle here. They own land and housing. Though many are small businesses, through their consumption and investment activities, they play an important role in promoting growth in the state. The process of migration is self-sustaining as many bring their family members, relatives and neighbours and help settle them in business in related fields.
随着时间的推移,政府逐渐退出经济活动,其作为雇主的作用也逐渐减弱,因此,吸引企业和创业精神并为其发展创造有利环境日益受到重视。果阿从印度其他地区迁入的人口比率很高。本研究利用人口普查数据,通过引力模型分析人口、距离、识字率和邦国内生产总值(GSDP)在移民流量和方向上的相对重要性。就人口而言,研究发现,原籍国人口多意味着向外移民的程度较高。这可能是由于对稀缺资源的竞争更加激烈,以及在目的地开办企业的成本较低。来自邻近的马哈拉施特拉邦和卡纳塔克邦的商业移民人数最多,这表明距离可能是阻碍流动的一个因素,尤其是在女性移民中。教育程度并不是商业移民的重要决定因素。同样,经济增长似乎也不能阻止人口向外迁移,这表明,尽管母邦的经济增长较快,但目的地更好的机会和成本最小化可能会刺激人口迁移。经济因素是重要的推力和拉力因素,而社会因素则是重要的拉力因素,决定了在东道国定居的难易程度。他们来果阿是为了长期定居。他们拥有土地和住房。虽然许多人都是小企业,但通过他们的消费和投资活动,他们在促进果阿增长方面发挥了重要作用。移民过程是自给自足的,因为许多人把他们的家人、亲戚和邻居带来,帮助他们在相关领域安家落户。

Circular Migrant Workers and Housing in Indian Cities: A View from Ahmedabad 印度城市中的循环移徙工人与住房:来自艾哈迈达巴德的观点

Circular labour migrants in the construction sector in Ahmedabad inhabit four typologies of living spaces. Workers recruited from the city’s labour chowks live predominantly in informal rental housing, squatter settlements and homeless settlements, while those recruited as part of labour gangs in villages live predominantly in temporary employer-provided labour colonies, aka worksite housing. The article discusses the living conditions in these four typologies, and uses three lenses to analyse this housing. The first lens is of urban policy, planning and governance regimes vis-a-vis the housing of and for the urban poor. This reveals how the state’s differentiated politics vis-à-vis housing informalities and the urban poor, which is manifested in its policies, programmes, and planning and governance practices, creates uneven welfarist inclusions as well as differentiated possibilities for claims-making by different groups of the urban poor. This results in specific inadequacies of shelter, basic services and tenure security in the different typologies of living spaces of circular migrant workers. The second lens of policy and governance regimes vis-à-vis labour reveals how the provisions of shelter and basic services in worksite housing are shaped by the regulation of employers under labour laws, and the mode of provisioning by employers and job contractors in this context. The third lens is of migrants’ agency in shaping their housing in the city in the context of urban policy, planning and governance regimes as well as their own multilocal lives across village and city. This lens reveals the relationships that migrants from nearby tribal districts have to their village, and how their practices around housing in the city are shaped by these relationships alongside the constraints and possibilities they face in the city given their vulnerabilities as poor, informal workers and circular migrants. The article concludes with recommendations for urban policy, planning and governance that would improve the informal housing of circular migrant construction workers, and create new formal housing that is relevant for these migrant workers.
艾哈迈达巴德建筑业的循环劳工居住在四种类型的生活空间。从城市劳动力集散地招募的工人主要居住在非正规出租房、棚户区和无家可归者居住区,而作为乡村劳工帮派一部分招募的工人主要居住在雇主提供的临时劳工聚居区,又称工地住房。文章讨论了这四种类型的居住条件,并使用了三个视角来分析这些住房。第一个视角是城市政策、规划和治理制度对城市贫民住房的影响。这揭示了国家针对非正规住房和城市贫民的差异化政治是如何在其政策、方案、规划和治理实践中体现出来的,从而产生了不均衡的福利主义包容,以及不同城市贫民群体提出诉求的差异化可能性。这就造成了在不同类型的循环型外来务工人员生活空间中,住房、基本服务和使用权保障的具体不足。第二个视角是针对劳工的政策和管理制度,它揭示了工地住房中的住所和基本服务是如何通过劳工法对雇主的监管以及雇主和工作承包商在此背景下的供应模式形成的。第三个视角是移民在城市政策、规划和管理制度以及他们自己跨越乡村和城市的多地方生活的背景下塑造他们在城市中的住房。这一视角揭示了来自附近部落地区的移民与他们村庄的关系,以及他们在城市中的住房实践是如何被这些关系以及他们作为穷人、非正式工人和循环移民在城市中所面临的限制和可能性所塑造的。文章最后对城市政策、规划和治理提出了建议,以改善建筑业循环移民工人的非正规住房,并为这些移民工人创造新的正规住房。

E-learning in the context of Industry 4.0 and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed traditional education. However, the smooth transition from face-to-face education to e-learning remains a challenging task, given concerns about e-learning quality. This study aims to explore the quality criteria and the adoption of e-learning via the spherical fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (SF-AHP). The extended technical acceptance model is used as a theoretical framework for constructing quality in an adoption hierarchical model. The input data derived from in-depth interviews of 20 experts in the field and the SF-AHP calculator have generated the priority weights of quality criteria in the model of e-learning adoption. The findings confirm the role of three major criteria, in order of importance, as follows: system, resources and core factors. The results highlight system factors as most crucial, including aspects such as governmental policies and institutional leadership, which are essential for setting a conducive environment for e-learning. Resource factors are ranked second, emphasizing the importance of IT applications, human capital and facilities to support e-learning infrastructure. Core factors, though ranked lower, are vital in ensuring the effectiveness of e-learning through course materials, instruction, and learner support. The weights of 14 sub-criteria have further shed light on policies to promote e-learning quality and its adoption. The implied priority of each weight a valuable guideline for the stakeholders’ actions to reach the targeted goals under the constraint resources.
在工业 4.0 和 COVID-19 大流行病爆发的背景下,电子学习改变了传统教育。然而,考虑到人们对电子学习质量的担忧,从面授教育向电子学习的平稳过渡仍然是一项具有挑战性的任务。本研究旨在通过球形模糊层次分析法(SF-AHP)探讨电子学习的质量标准和采用情况。扩展的技术接受模型被用作构建采用层次模型中质量的理论框架。通过对该领域 20 位专家的深入访谈和 SF-AHP 计算器获得的输入数据,生成了电子学习采用模型中质量标准的优先权重。研究结果证实了三大标准的作用,其重要性依次为:系统、资源和核心因素。结果表明,系统因素最为关键,包括政府政策和机构领导力等方面,这些因素对于营造有利于电子学习的环境至关重要。资源因素排在第二位,强调了信息技术应用、人力资本和设施对支持电子学习基础设施的重要性。核心因素虽然排名靠后,但对通过课程材料、教学和学习者支持确保电子学习的有效性至关重要。14 个次级标准的权重进一步阐明了促进电子学习质量及其采用的政策。每个权重所隐含的优先次序为利益相关者在资源有限的情况下实现目标提供了宝贵的行动指南。

The findings confirm the role of three major criteria, in order of importance, as follows: system, resources and core factors. The results highlight system factors as most crucial, including aspects such as governmental policies and institutional leadership, which are essential for setting a conducive environment for e-learning. Resource factors are ranked second, emphasizing the importance of IT applications, human capital and facilities to support e-learning infrastructure. Core factors, though ranked lower, are vital in ensuring the effectiveness of e-learning through course materials, instruction, and learner support. The weights of 14 sub-criteria have further shed light on policies to promote e-learning quality and its adoption. The implied priority of each weight a valuable guideline for the stakeholders’ actions to reach the targeted goals under the constraint resources.","PeriodicalId":35878,"journal":{"name":"Vikalpa","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141197666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article delves into the critical role of learning agility in the Indian context. It specifically explores how an organizational learning culture (OLCu) fosters an employee’s ability to learn and adapt—their learning agility—which ultimately translates into improved firm performance. Employing a cross-sectional research design, the study gathers data through self-administered surveys from over 313 employees working in hardware service firms within the Indian IT sector. Path analysis is then utilized to analyse the collected data and unveil the underlying relationships. The findings unveil a fascinating interplay between OLCu, learning agility and firm performance. The study suggests that OLCu acts as a catalyst, fostering a work environment that encourages continuous learning and development. This, in turn, fosters employee learning agility. However, the research also reveals that learning agility plays a mediating role, meaning it partially explains the effect of OLCu on firm performance. In simpler terms, while a strong OLCu is crucial, it is the employee’s enhanced learning agility that truly unlocks the door to improved firm performance. This research offers valuable insights that can empower organizations in the Indian IT landscape. By nurturing a vibrant OLCu, companies can equip their employees with the tools and support they need to become more learning agile. This agility translates into a workforce that can readily adapt to new technologies, evolving customer demands, and a dynamic business environment. Consequently, firms can expect greater innovation, improved service delivery, and, ultimately, a significant boost in overall performance. This research also contributes significantly to the existing body of knowledge. It adds a fresh perspective to organizational learning theory by highlighting the crucial role of learning agility as a bridge between OLCu and firm performance, particularly in the Indian IT sector.
本文深入探讨了学习敏捷性在印度环境中的关键作用。文章特别探讨了组织学习文化(OLCu)如何促进员工的学习和适应能力--学习敏捷性--最终转化为公司业绩的提高。本研究采用横截面研究设计,通过对印度 IT 行业硬件服务公司超过 313 名员工的自填式调查收集数据。然后利用路径分析对收集到的数据进行分析,并揭示其中的内在关系。研究结果揭示了 OLCu、学习敏捷性和公司业绩之间迷人的相互作用。研究表明,OLCu 起着催化剂的作用,它营造了一种鼓励持续学习和发展的工作环境。这反过来又促进了员工的学习敏捷性。不过,研究也表明,学习敏捷性起着中介作用,即它可以部分解释 OLCu 对企业绩效的影响。简单地说,尽管强大的 OLCu 至关重要,但员工学习敏捷性的提高才真正打开了企业绩效提高的大门。这项研究提供了宝贵的见解,可以增强印度 IT 企业的能力。通过培养充满活力的 OLCu,企业可以为员工提供学习灵活性所需的工具和支持。这种灵活性将转化为一支能够随时适应新技术、不断变化的客户需求和动态业务环境的员工队伍。因此,企业可以期待更大的创新、更好的服务交付,并最终显著提升整体绩效。这项研究还对现有知识体系做出了重大贡献。它为组织学习理论增添了新的视角,强调了学习敏捷性作为 OLCu 与企业绩效之间桥梁的关键作用,尤其是在印度 IT 行业。
