Recent debates highlight that agriculture-based strategies can enhance food security. Thus, this article examined the incidence and determinants of food security of agricultural households in Kuttanad, a wetland region situated in the southern part of the state of Kerala in India. Towards this objective, we have collected food consumption data from households and converted them into an equivalent amount of calorie intake. Further, we define food security in terms of calorie adequacy using the minimum calorie norm of 1,800 kcal suggested by the Food and Agricultural Organization for India. Our empirical results reveal that 37% of the sample households are food insecure. The incidence of food insecurity is higher among poor sections like labour households, Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY), and Scheduled Castes families. Results of Probit regression show that below poverty line and AAY families are less likely to be food secure than above poverty line families. The purchase of cereals from the Public Distribution System is found to have a positive impact on the food security status of the households. Both farm income and non-farm income positively influence the probability of food security. The study concludes that there are impediments to realizing the linkages between agriculture and food security. JEL Classification: Q10, Q18, I32, C25
最近的辩论强调,以农业为基础的战略可以加强粮食安全。因此,本文研究了印度喀拉拉邦南部库塔纳德湿地地区农业家庭粮食安全的发生率和决定因素。为实现这一目标,我们收集了家庭的食品消费数据,并将其转换为等量的卡路里摄入量。此外,我们还根据印度粮食及农业组织提出的最低卡路里标准(1,800 千卡),从卡路里是否充足的角度来定义粮食安全。我们的实证结果显示,37% 的样本家庭存在粮食不安全问题。劳动力家庭、Antyodaya Anna Yojana(AAY)和在册种姓家庭等贫困阶层的粮食不安全发生率较高。Probit 回归结果显示,贫困线以下家庭和 AAY 家庭比贫困线以上家庭更不可能获得粮食保障。从公共分配系统购买谷物对家庭的粮食安全状况有积极影响。农业收入和非农业收入对粮食安全的可能性都有积极影响。研究得出结论,在实现农业与粮食安全之间的联系方面存在障碍。JEL 分类:Q10, Q18, I32, C25

On a global scale, India ranks very poorly in terms of gender equality. This overall indicator masks important heterogeneities across the separate measures of female empowerment. India scores very highly with regards to equality of civil liberties and the political participation of women. But the country falls well below the global average with respect to equal access to economic resources and protection from gender-based violence. These poorer empowerment indicators have persisted not only in the wake of strong economic progress, but also in the context of an impressive set of government led reforms and policies targeting women. These different initiatives have successfully augmented women’s agency in both the private and public spheres of life, but women and girls still face extreme discrimination and violence. The salience of restrictive local customs appears to be a core hindrance towards transformative change. This paper reviews the economics literature which examines this complexity across the different dimensions of female empowerment in India. It highlights the newly emerging research focused on ameliorating gender biased norms and discusses potential steps forward. JEL Classifications: J12, J16
在全球范围内,印度在性别平等方面的排名非常靠后。这一总体指标掩盖了女性赋权的不同衡量标准之间的重要差异。印度在公民自由平等和妇女参政方面得分很高。但在平等获得经济资源和免受性别暴力侵害方面,印度却远远低于全球平均水平。这些较差的赋权指标不仅是在经济取得巨大进步的情况下持续存在的,也是在政府领导的一系列针对妇女的改革和政策给人留下深刻印象的情况下持续存在的。这些不同的举措成功地增强了妇女在私人和公共生活领域的能动性,但妇女和女童仍然面临着极端的歧视和暴力。限制性的地方习俗似乎是阻碍变革的核心因素。本文回顾了研究印度女性赋权不同层面复杂性的经济学文献。它强调了新近出现的以改善有性别偏见的规范为重点的研究,并讨论了今后可能采取的措施。JEL 分类:J12, J16

In this paper, the authors present a long-term quantitative assessment of the trade facilitative environment in India. This pioneering exercise uses average cargo release time as a performance indicator, drawing upon secondary data sources based on transaction-level digital timestamps, as distinct from perception-based global surveys. It concludes that the unsegregated average import cargo release time has improved from 14 days in 2010–2011 to 86 hours and 44 hours for marine and air cargo, respectively, in 2023, yet falling short of 48 hours and 24 hours respective target set by the government. Highlighting the trade facilitation measures that have worked, the paper recommends focusing on the quality of regulatory measures, infrastructural improvement and wider adoption for the next generation of reforms.

The Problem with Authoritarian Populists 专制民粹主义者的问题
Q3 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2024-04-10 DOI: 10.1177/23210222241237041

We assume that even though voters prefer the policies of their favoured leader they value democracy more greatly. This means that voters on both sides of a polarised policy divide would be willing to sacrifice their preferred policy if it would mean preserving democracy. However voters on one side are unsure whether voters on the other side share this commitment to democracy. We show that in such a situation an autocratic populist leader can act in ways that will undermine opposing voters beliefs that the leader’s supporters continue to value democracy. If these beliefs become pessimistic enough, a self-reinforcing cycle of mutual suspicion between voters on opposing sides leads to the inexorable demise of democracy and its replacement by autocratic rule. Understanding this, an elected leader who aspires to rule via non-democratic means may follow such autocratic populist policies in order to entrench their rule.

我们假定,尽管选民倾向于他们所支持的领导人的政策,但他们更看重民主。这就意味着,如果能维护民主,政策两极分化的两边选民都愿意牺牲自己的首选政策。然而,一方的选民并不确定另一方的选民是否也有同样的民主承诺。我们的研究表明,在这种情况下,专制的民粹主义领导人可能会采取一些行动,破坏对立选民认为该领导人的支持者继续重视民主的信念。如果这些信念变得足够悲观,敌对双方选民之间的相互猜疑就会形成自我强化的循环,导致民主不可阻挡地消亡,并被专制统治所取代。明白了这一点,渴望通过非民主手段进行统治的民选领导人可能会奉行这种专制的民粹主义政策,以巩固自己的统治。JEL Classifications:D72、P16、P17、P48

Weighty Evidence? Poverty Estimation with Missing Data 重要证据?有缺失数据的贫困估算

Attempts have been made to estimate poverty in India using a biased dataset, by adjusting household weights to remove or reduce the bias. The effectiveness of this method, however, is uncertain. Simulation exercises suggest that its ability to correct poverty estimates varies wildly depending on the nature of the underlying bias, which may be hard to guess—there lies the rub. When the bias changes over time, estimating poverty trends becomes truly problematic. There are wider lessons for poverty estimation with biased or missing data. JEL Codes: C83, I32
有人曾试图利用有偏差的数据集来估算印度的贫困状况,方法是调整家庭权重以消除或减少偏差。然而,这种方法的有效性并不确定。模拟实践表明,该方法纠正贫困估算值的能力因基本偏差的性质不同而有很大差异,而基本偏差的性质可能很难猜测,这就是问题所在。当偏差随着时间的推移而变化时,贫困趋势的估算就真正成了问题。这对使用有偏差或缺失的数据进行贫困估算具有更广泛的借鉴意义。JEL Codes:C83, I32

This study investigates how reciprocity works in a simple trust game when the subjects are framed as either lucky or unlucky. We induce luckiness perception to the second mover by introducing uncertainty with a different combination of possible multipliers, allowing us to observe the effect of outcome bias on trustworthiness while controlling for the wealth effect. We do not find a significantly different level of trustworthiness between lucky second movers and unlucky second movers. The result suggests the null effect of outcome bias on reciprocal behaviour.

This study investigates the total factor productivity (TFP) growth among urban cooperative banks in India during 2014–2020. The measurement of productivity is done using the data envelopment analysis-based Malmquist productivity index. We use two different models, viz., the intermediation approach and the production approach, to see how productivity estimates vary with the change in inputs and outputs. Our results show a large asymmetry in productivity estimates both among banks and over time. TFP estimates were consistently higher under the production approach vis-à-vis the intermediation approach. Further, the empirical results show that productivity gains were mainly determined by technological progress rather than efficiency improvements. Thus, collaborations in technological know-how can be beneficial to productivity growth. JEL Classifications: G15, G21, G34
本研究调查了 2014-2020 年间印度城市合作银行的全要素生产率(TFP)增长情况。生产率的测量采用了基于数据包络分析的马尔奎斯特生产率指数。我们使用了两种不同的模型,即中介方法和生产方法,以了解生产率估计值如何随投入和产出的变化而变化。我们的研究结果表明,银行间和不同时期的生产率估计值存在很大的不对称性。生产法与中介法相比,全要素生产率估计值一直较高。此外,实证结果表明,生产率的提高主要是由技术进步而非效率提高决定的。因此,技术诀窍方面的合作有利于生产率的提高。JEL 分类:G15, G21, G34G15、G21、G34

Household Livelihood Strategies and Forest Resource Use in Rural West Bengal, India 印度西孟加拉邦农村地区的家庭生计战略与森林资源利用
Q3 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2024-02-18 DOI: 10.1177/23210222241228070

The economic contributions of forest resources to the well-being of rural households are enormous. However, the level of forest benefits and degree of forest reliance vary across households. Drawing on a sustainable livelihood framework, this article explores how these forest resource uses correlate to the choice of livelihood strategies of rural forest-dependent households with a specific focus on the increased income of households, filling income shortfall, coping with shocks and livelihood diversification. Data were collected from 407 rural forest-dependent households in West Bengal, India. Based on the share of forest income in total household income, households were classified into different livelihood strategy groups. One-way ANOVA was run to test the income differences among these groups. The forest extractive strategy was found least income-generating of all livelihood strategies. Multinomial logit regression was carried out to identify the asset-based explanatory variables that influence livelihood strategy choices and forest dependency of the studied households. Analyses show that households’ differential access to or endowment of livelihood assets determines the choice of a rural household’s livelihood strategy and that forest resource uses of the households are livelihood strategy driven. Asset-poor households should be given opportunities to pursue livelihood activities with higher economic returns. JEL Classifications: Q23, Q56, Q57
森林资源对农村家庭福祉的经济贡献巨大。然而,不同家庭的森林收益水平和对森林的依赖程度各不相同。本文借鉴可持续生计框架,探讨了这些森林资源的使用如何与依赖森林的农村家庭的生计策略选择相关联,特别关注家庭收入的增加、收入缺口的弥补、冲击的应对和生计的多样化。数据收集自印度西孟加拉邦 407 个以林为生的农村家庭。根据森林收入在家庭总收入中所占的比例,家庭被划分为不同的生计策略组。采用单因素方差分析来检验这些群体之间的收入差异。结果发现,在所有生计策略中,森林采掘策略的收入最少。通过多项式对数回归,确定了影响研究家庭生计策略选择和森林依赖性的资产解释变量。分析表明,家庭在获得或拥有生计资产方面的差异决定了农村家庭生计战略的选择,而家庭对森林资源的利用是由生计战略驱动的。资产匮乏的家庭应有机会从事经济回报较高的生计活动。JEL 分类:Q23, Q56, Q57

Wage Differentials and Inequality in Managerial and Professional Jobs: Quantile Regression Analysis 管理和专业工作的工资差异与不平等:定量回归分析
Q3 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2024-01-11 DOI: 10.1177/23210222231214850

In the economics literature, it is vividly portrayed that there is a great deal of disparity in wages received by workers across economic activities and occupations in India. The primary purpose of this article is to identify factors determining wage differentials and to measure wage inequality in managerial and professional occupations. Using unit-level records of periodic labour force survey (PLFS) published by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), we apply quantile regression model to examine how wage distribution is determined by personal, household and labour market characteristics. Our analysis is limited to persons aged between 15 and 65 and employed in managerial and professional occupations. The findings suggest that rural–urban dichotomy, gender, technical education, social group, job contract, type of enterprise and enterprise workforce size are statistically significant across quantiles and are important in explaining the wage distribution of managerial and professional workers in India.

经济学文献生动地描述了印度不同经济活动和职业的工人所获得的工资存在巨大差异。本文的主要目的是找出决定工资差异的因素,并衡量管理和专业职业的工资不平等情况。利用全国抽样调查办公室(NSSO)发布的定期劳动力调查(PLFS)的单位级别记录,我们采用量级回归模型来研究工资分配是如何由个人、家庭和劳动力市场特征决定的。我们的分析仅限于年龄在 15 岁至 65 岁之间、从事管理和专业职业的人员。研究结果表明,城乡二元结构、性别、技术教育程度、社会群体、工作合同、企业类型和企业劳动力规模在不同的量级上具有统计意义,是解释印度管理和专业人员工资分配的重要因素。从政策角度看,加强基于性别的措施,同时扩大技术教育和劳动力市场机构,对于缩小印度的工资差距至关重要。JEL 分类:J16、J24、J31

The primary purpose of this article is to identify factors determining wage differentials and to measure wage inequality in managerial and professional occupations. Using unit-level records of periodic labour force survey (PLFS) published by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), we apply quantile regression model to examine how wage distribution is determined by personal, household and labour market characteristics. Our analysis is limited to persons aged between 15 and 65 and employed in managerial and professional occupations. The findings suggest that rural–urban dichotomy, gender, technical education, social group, job contract, type of enterprise and enterprise workforce size are statistically significant across quantiles and are important in explaining the wage distribution of managerial and professional workers in India. From a policy perspective, the invigoration of gender-based measures coupled with the expansion of technical education and labour market institutions are essential for bridging the wage disparity in India.

The paper evaluates the contracting problem between a platform and a seller under information asymmetry where the seller holds private information about his/her cost for product quality. Price per product is influenced by seller’s product quality and platform’s service quality. Cost-sharing contract is more desirable as it induces a higher level of qualities and generates higher profit for the platform compared to revenue-sharing contract. The product quality and platform’s service quality vary negatively with the ad-valorem tax imposed on price of the product. We then introduce advertising in our model and observe that the level of advertising is lower under information asymmetry. JEL Classification: D86, L21, M37
本文评估了信息不对称条件下平台与卖方之间的契约问题,在这种情况下,卖方拥有关于其产品质量成本的私人信息。每件产品的价格受卖方产品质量和平台服务质量的影响。与收入共享合同相比,成本共享合同更可取,因为它能提高产品质量,为平台带来更高的利润。产品质量和平台服务质量与对产品价格征收的从价税呈负相关。然后,我们在模型中引入了广告,并观察到在信息不对称的情况下广告水平较低。JEL 分类:D86, L21, M37
