В настоящее время весьма актуальным является направление формирования стратегии управления потреблением природного газа на промышленном предприятии, так как природный газ играет важную роль в топливно-энергетическом балансе и является универсальным и экологически чистым энергетическим ресурсом. Проведение исследований авторов базировалось на системном анализе и синтезе показателей потребления природного газа промышленным предприятием на современном этапе развития. Предложен концептуальный подход к формированию стратегии управления потреблением природного газа промышленным предприятием, который позволяет оценивать эффективность формирования стратегии потребления природного газа, и дает возможность рассматривать не только достигнутые технико-экономические показатели и отклонения от запланированных, но и способы устранения этих отклонений.

This article tries to assess the determinants of farmers’ vulnerability to poverty due to crop loss and to find out how they cope with it. To carry out the aforesaid study, we have conducted a field survey in Assam, India. Using ordered probit regression, we find that vulnerability is determined by a host of factors such as age, family size, social group, monthly expenditure, loss due to crop damage, coping measures, crop insurance, use of chemical fertilizers and irrigation. However, access to institutional support does not reduce vulnerability significantly. Coping measures are mostly destructive, and farmers with these coping strategies are more vulnerable to poverty. Social safety nets such as public distribution and ad hoc employment facilities are available, but the safety nets needed for farming and basic measures required for increasing productivity have been lacking. The study recommends affordable irrigation, training and awareness programmes and the provision of the resource base for successful coping. It is also important to provide opportunities for livelihood diversification to maintain the inflow of cash during crop loss. Finally, farmers who are on the margins of subsistence require institutions for social security to reduce vulnerability and bring about transformation. JEL Classification: C83

Risk perception is a crucial component in evaluating the rationality of smoking decisions, but there are few studies that have examined its effect on the smoking of smuggled cigarettes. The purpose of this article is to empirically investigate whether risk perceptions affect the smoking of smuggled cigarettes in Taiwan in the context of socio-economic status. Since risk perception may be endogenous with regard to smoking smuggled cigarettes, the endogenous switching model is utilised to evaluate the effect of risk perception in relation to the smoker’s being concerned with health risks and tobacco quality. Our empirical results indicate that smokers with higher degrees of risk perception are less likely to smoke smuggled cigarettes. In addition, the relevant characteristics of the socio-economic status of smokers, such as weekly cigarette expenditure, gender, age, and whether or not they reside in the southern region of Taiwan, are also statistically significant in terms of smoking smuggled cigarettes. Therefore, the public health authorities in Taiwan should actively broadcast information on the fatal consequences of smoking smuggled cigarettes, thereby enhancing the smoker’s risk perceptions in regard to smuggled cigarettes.

We find Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS) and Evolutionary Stable Preference (ESP) in conflict modeled as a pairwise contest game for an endogenous prize. Our study attributes overbidding under ESS to misperceptions about various attributes of rival players in a conflict that evolved through ESP. We show that players tend to over perceive the resource endowments of rival players and this, in turn, gives rise to the more aggressive behaviour of players under ESS. We also use the notion of conflict expenditure in an endogenous prize setting to show that the false perception about the rival players under ESP gives rise to higher levels of dissipation of resources into appropriation.

The vaccination drive for the COVID-19 pandemic was initiated globally more than a year ago, with booster shots being the new addition currently. There are some setbacks regarding the acceptance of the vaccine that the government needs to tackle to achieve a fully vaccinated ecosystem. Vaccine hesitancy is not a new concept and has been witnessed by people for decades. In simple terms, vaccine hesitancy refers to a situation where people are reluctant to get vaccinated despite its availability. This is due to technological retrogression, superstitions, doubt towards the government and misinformation. This paper is a systematic literature review to analyse the behavioural economics theories shown by people towards vaccines in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We aim to connect psychological and economic factors that lead to this hesitancy through behavioural economics. Availability bias, omission bias, confirmation bias, incentives, anticipated regret, illusory correlation, recency effect, tailoring and framing are the biases that influence decision-making under the behavioural economics framework. This paper is an attempt to analyse these principles and explain potential barriers to vaccine acceptance and intervention strategies for medical professionals and the state.

The objective of this article is to promote financial inclusion in the niche market for the less privileged class of the society by allowing small finance banks that are specialized in terms of activity with a regional focus and the target population. The present study makes an efficiency evaluation of the small finance banks operating in India for the period 2017–2020. In view of the smallness of the sample size, the study estimates efficiency, not by the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA)-based point estimates. Instead, it estimates efficiency by applying the Guo–Tanaka fuzzy DEA model. In the second stage, efficiency is explained in terms of three contextual variables: return on asset, capital adequacy and net non-performing asset ratio. JEL Classifications: C61, D21, G21

The COVID-19 pandemic made hotels around the world to experience a huge drop in revenues as lockdowns restricted mobility. For many hotel operators, the rent of the building is one of the most important fixed costs. The Rebus Sic Stantibus clause allows judges to rule that changes can be made to the economic conditions of contracts when a supervening event, not foreseen by the parties, causes economic hardship. This paper analyses, considering different market structures and the degree of product differentiation, how the rent for hotel facilities agreed in long-term contracts will change if the clause is applied now, reducing by law current rents.

Micro borrowing was either an outcome of structure in the credit environment (termed the outreach stream), or a strategic response of the borrowers (termed the sustainability stream). Furthermore, borrower personal effects drove borrowing behaviour. This study draws variables from both the streams of literature and tests them against the amount borrowed and purposes loans are borrowed for. Results show how borrowing behaviour is neither an outcome of pure structure nor pure strategy, but rather, is an interplay of both, and further influenced by personal effects. The survey data (consisting of 839 rural borrower responses, from four districts of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh in South India) was subjected to a rigorous statistical analysis. Results show how a larger number of banks in the villages (a structural constraint), enabled the borrowers to receive larger loans, who defaulted more (a strategic response). Men borrowed larger sums (a personal effect). A similar amalgam of structure, strategy and personal effects drive borrowing behaviour even after controlling for loan purpose and district fixed effects. Yet, when district effects are introduced, amount borrowed is agnostic to personal effects, and is driven purely by structure and strategy. JEL Classifications: C25, C83, G51, Z13

The establishment of special economic zones (SEZs) in Indian districts is intended to bring rapid economic growth to India. However, the data on SEZs show that SEZs are concentrated in only a few Indian districts and thus aggravate the problem of regional inequality. In this paper, the strategy of concentration of SEZs is analysed with a backdrop of the new economic geography theory. The data of the variables are extracted from Census 2011 and other sources for all 640 districts. The Tobit model is used to determine the locational factors behind the establishment of the SEZs in a district of India. The results show that the variables such as urbanization, distance from megacity, districts with a seaport and districts with airports have a significant impact on the number of SEZ approvals as well as SEZ notifications. The concentration of SEZs is mainly due to favourable market and infrastructural conditions. JEL codes: O10, C24, D63

We undertake a case study on the SHIKSHA initiative in Uttar Pradesh in Northern India to understand how impactful the technology-integrated pedagogy through public–private partnerships (PPP) in education has been on the learning outcomes of students. A content analysis to understand the processes adopted by the SHIKSHA initiative is attempted. The digitized curriculum developed is found to be contextualized in accordance with the background of students, which can be aligned with constructivist learning theory. We also attempt a quantitative analysis to estimate the impact of these pedagogical practices on learning outcomes. The analysis finds that the average scores of schools with SHIKSHA interventions are higher by 58 percentage points. Also, under SHIKSHA, a 15-day period was given to the students for revision of the courses with the active participation of the teachers. The average scores after these revisions record an improvement as compared to the average scores before revisions. The paper suggests that the digitization of content by the government or through PPPs can help boost effective learning. JEL codes: C120, H520, I200, I210, I220, I280
