Per capita availability of water is a serious challenge for Pakistan, like other countries. The objectives of this study are to investigate the different sources of water supply use by Pakistan’s urban households, their willingness to pay and modelling the determinants of the households’ budget allocation for water consumption. The study employed Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) 2015–2016 data set, which revealed that more than 60 per cent of households rely on piped water. The result of the variable filtration plant shows that urban households take less care of their health because the tendency of filtered water use is low. The regression result shows negative effect of per capita income, and positive effect of square of per capita income reflects that measures to accelerate income will help to increase budget allocation for water supply at the households’ level. The findings call for accelerating the water filtration plants, water availability in tap and higher incomes while controlling the population size and shared common washroom can help to save water in the case of urban Pakistan.
和其他国家一样,人均水资源占有量对巴基斯坦来说是一个严峻的挑战。本研究的目的是调查巴基斯坦城市家庭使用的不同供水来源,他们的支付意愿和模拟家庭用水预算分配的决定因素。该研究采用了巴基斯坦社会和生活水平测量(PSLM) 2015-2016年的数据集,该数据集显示,超过60%的家庭依赖自来水。变量过滤装置的结果表明,由于过滤水的使用趋势较低,城市家庭对健康的关注较少。回归结果显示人均收入的负作用,人均收入平方的正作用反映了加速收入的措施将有助于增加家庭层面的供水预算拨款。研究结果呼吁加快水过滤厂的建设,提高自来水供应,提高收入,同时控制人口规模和共用厕所,这些都有助于巴基斯坦城市的节水。

This article aims to find out interlinkages between equity and commodity markets through the channel of investors’ outlook in the equity market. The proxies used for gauging perception of investors are investor sentiment index and Advance–Decline ratio. The study also incorporates the introduction of Commodity Transaction Tax (CTT) and occurrence of National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) scam in the year 2013. Additionally, returns in commodity market are examined to be a function of equity returns. The empirical findings suggest that the liquidity of commodity futures is inversely related to investor sentiments in equity market, and commodity returns are also negatively related to equity returns. Therefore, equity and commodity markets are inversely related, as liquidity in both the markets reacts to the investor sentiments; contrarily, commodity returns experience a significantly negative impact from equity returns. Additionally, the results also provide evidence that investor sentiment in equity possesses the ability to predict liquidity in the commodity futures market. The study also suggests that the CTT and NSEL scam have significantly and positively affected the liquidity of the Indian commodity market.
本文旨在通过投资者对股票市场的展望这一渠道,找出股票市场与商品市场之间的内在联系。用于衡量投资者看法的代理是投资者情绪指数和进退比。该研究还纳入了2013年商品交易税(CTT)的引入和国家现货交易所有限公司(NSEL)骗局的发生。此外,商品市场的收益被检验为权益收益的函数。实证结果表明,商品期货流动性与股票市场投资者情绪呈负相关,商品收益与股票收益呈负相关。因此,股票和商品市场呈负相关,因为两个市场的流动性都对投资者情绪做出反应;相反,商品回报经历了股票回报的显著负面影响。此外,研究结果也提供了证据,证明投资者的股票情绪具有预测商品期货市场流动性的能力。该研究还表明,CTT和NSEL骗局显著和积极地影响了印度商品市场的流动性。

This article aims to understand the drivers of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and its nexus with its determinants such as economic growth, inflation rate, labour productivity, infrastructure development, market size, openness of the economy, political stability and corporate tax for South Asian Association for Regional Corporation (SAARC) countries. The article is based on secondary data from the World Bank and International Labour Organization (ILO) for 19 years from 2001 to 2018 for 6 SAARC countries, viz. Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The findings indicate that there exists long-run, short-run and joint causal relationship among infrastructure development, market size, openness of the economy, political stability and corporate tax and FDI inflows. Among these variables, the corporate tax is the most important one because it shows bidirectional causality with FDI inflows in the long run as well as short run along with joint strong causality. However, only the coefficients of infrastructure development and corporate tax were found to be positively and negatively significant, respectively. Therefore, better infrastructure development and decrease in corporate tax may enhance FDI inflows in SAARC countries. This infers that with the decrease in corporate tax, more FDI inflows may take place, and higher FDI inflows may decrease in corporate tax further. Therefore, this article suggests that SAARC countries should accelerate the process of integration of their economy with the rest of the world along with political stability, enhance the infrastructure facility and reduce the corporate tax to get the higher FDI inflows.

本文旨在了解外国直接投资(FDI)流入的驱动因素及其与南亚区域公司联盟(SAARC)国家的经济增长、通货膨胀率、劳动生产率、基础设施发展、市场规模、经济开放程度、政治稳定和企业税收等决定因素的关系。这篇文章基于世界银行和国际劳工组织(ILO) 2001年至2018年19年间对6个南盟国家的二手数据,即孟加拉国、不丹、印度、尼泊尔、巴基斯坦和斯里兰卡。研究结果表明,基础设施发展与市场规模、经济开放程度、政治稳定、公司税和FDI流入之间存在长期、短期和联合因果关系。在这些变量中,公司税是最重要的一个变量,它与FDI流入在长期和短期都表现出双向因果关系,并具有联合强因果关系。然而,只有基础设施发展系数和公司税系数分别具有正显著和负显著意义。因此,更好的基础设施建设和企业税的减少可能会增加南盟国家的FDI流入。这可以推断,随着公司税的降低,可能会有更多的FDI流入,而更高的FDI流入可能会进一步降低公司税。因此,本文建议南盟国家应加快经济与世界其他地区的一体化进程,同时保持政治稳定,加强基础设施建设,降低公司税,以获得更高的FDI流入。Jel: f21, f02, c22

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on every aspect of our lives is inevitable and already being felt in numerous ways. Countries are grappling with the opportunities and challenges that AI presents. Among the South Asian countries, India has taken a lead in promoting and regulating AI. However, it lags significantly behind countries such as China or the United States. This article explores India’s AI ecosystem, the threats and challenges it faces, and the ethical issues it needs to consider. Finally, it examines the common concerns among South Asian nations and the possibility of coming together to promote and regulate AI in the region. JEL: Z: Z0: Z000

Fourth Industrial Revolution, Technological Advancement and Youth Employment: A South Asian Perspective 第四次工业革命、技术进步与青年就业:南亚视角

Technological advancement can displace workers with machines, but also create new jobs. Hence, at the crux of the matter lies a race between the rate of technological advancement and the pace at which educational institutions can empower workers with the right skills. For the countries of the South Asian region, generating jobs for youth will prove to be a challenge in the backdrop of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This paper investigates the impact of technological advancement on youth unemployment in the context of six South Asian countries, namely, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The results of the panel instrumental variables model estimations show that lower secondary completion rate has a negative relationship and capital–labour ratio has a positive relationship with the share of youth not in employment, education or training. However, since the magnitude of the coefficient of the lower secondary completion rate is greater than the magnitude of the coefficient of the capital–labour ratio, it is concluded that education will win the race against technology in South Asia, as long as the educational attainment rates are high enough to offset the impact of technical progress. JEL: E24, J01, J13, J64
技术进步可以用机器取代工人,但也可以创造新的就业机会。因此,问题的关键在于技术进步的速度与教育机构赋予工人适当技能的速度之间的竞赛。对于南亚地区的国家来说,在第四次工业革命的背景下,为青年创造就业机会将是一项挑战。本文以孟加拉国、不丹、印度、尼泊尔、巴基斯坦和斯里兰卡六个南亚国家为研究对象,研究了技术进步对青年失业的影响。面板工具变量模型估计的结果表明,较低的中学完成率与未就业、未受教育或未接受培训的青年比例呈正相关关系,而资本劳动比率则呈正相关关系。然而,由于较低中学完成率系数的大小大于资本劳动比率系数的大小,因此可以得出结论,只要受教育程度高到足以抵消技术进步的影响,教育将在南亚赢得与技术的竞争。Jel: e24, j01, j13, j64

Overall, the book is written in an accessible language for professionals. The intellectual breadth of the book is impressive, and it will certainly spark sound and thoughtful debate on Sri Lanka’s economic development challenges amongst academics, economists and policymakers. I enjoyed reading it and updated myself on many fronts of economic development challenges in Sri Lanka. I recommend this as an essential reading for those who are interested about Sri Lanka’s development challenges. Many of the chapters in this book are good supplementary reading materials for Master’s degree courses in development economics. The book is truly a tribute to the eminent economist – Dr Kelegama.

opportunities. It discusses how a regional value chain can emerge in the NER, with Bangladesh serving as the source country, particularly in the case of medical tourism. It also analyses the necessary conditions for this to happen, including participation in logistics services and transit arrangements. The report presents a rich analysis of the four sectors (spices, fruits and vegetables, bamboo and medical tourism) in the NER, drawing out strategic aspects in each of the value chains. This includes the opportunities for upgrading and specialization in particular segments of the chain. The opportunities for employment generation, especially of women and the poor, have also been analysed in each case. The emergence of the regional chain with Bangladesh is a possibility in each of these sectors and each chapter has explored how this can happen in detail. In the case of medical tourism, the likelihood of this is greatest. In the case of the other sectors, each chapter has also spelled out the barriers in greater regional integration. Given the low intra-regional trade in South Asia, this report presents promising suggestions, which must be taken up seriously by policymakers.
的机会。它讨论了在孟加拉国作为来源国的情况下,特别是在医疗旅游方面,如何在东北地区形成区域价值链。报告还分析了实现这一目标的必要条件,包括参与物流服务和过境安排。该报告对新兴国家的四个部门(香料、水果和蔬菜、竹子和医疗旅游)进行了丰富的分析,并提出了每个价值链中的战略方面。这包括在产业链的特定环节进行升级和专业化的机会。在每种情况下,还分析了创造就业的机会,特别是妇女和穷人的就业机会。与孟加拉国的区域链的出现在这些部门都是可能的,每一章都详细探讨了这是如何发生的。就医疗旅游而言,这种可能性最大。在其他部门的情况下,每一章也阐明了更大的区域一体化的障碍。鉴于南亚区域内贸易较低,本报告提出了有希望的建议,政策制定者必须认真对待。

This paper examines the current status of use of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (4th IR) in South Asia and the role and need for regional cooperation to harness the potential and benefits of 4th IR. It examines the development across South Asian countries, their participation in international forums, their level of collaboration and cooperation in technology adaptation and digitalization. Based on secondary data analysis and in-depth meetings with experts, the paper explores the potential of 4th IR in this region and identifies the challenges of South Asian countries. It then presents recommendations on how the South Asian countries can harness the benefits of 4th IR and address their common concerns through collaborations under the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), so that all member countries can benefit from 4th IR, by leveraging each other’s best practices and comparative advantages. This can help countries in the region to achieve high and inclusive growth and meet their sustainable development goals. JEL: O3, O57, F13

It examines the development across South Asian countries, their participation in international forums, their level of collaboration and cooperation in technology adaptation and digitalization. Based on secondary data analysis and in-depth meetings with experts, the paper explores the potential of 4th IR in this region and identifies the challenges of South Asian countries. It then presents recommendations on how the South Asian countries can harness the benefits of 4th IR and address their common concerns through collaborations under the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), so that all member countries can benefit from 4th IR, by leveraging each other’s best practices and comparative advantages. This can help countries in the region to achieve high and inclusive growth and meet their sustainable development goals.

Financial Globalization and Economic Growth in South Asia 金融全球化与南亚经济增长
Pub Date : 2020-03-01 DOI: 10.1177/1391561420909007
N. Bhanumurthy, Lokendra Kumawat
The article examines relationship between financial globalization and economic growth in South Asian countries namely Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Following the framework of Bekaert et al. (2005) and with the help of Panel VAR and Panel causality (in GMM framework) models the study concludes that the causation from financial globalization to growth in the region appears to be weak. There appears reverse causation running from growth to financial globalization. We found that domestic macroeconomic policies such as fiscal prudence act as pull factors for foreign capital. The article has some interesting results at individual country level. JEL: C33, F21, F36, F65
本文考察了南亚国家不丹、孟加拉国、印度、马尔代夫、尼泊尔、巴基斯坦和斯里兰卡的金融全球化与经济增长的关系。在Bekaert et al.(2005)的框架下,借助面板VAR和面板因果关系(GMM框架)模型,本研究得出结论,金融全球化对该地区增长的因果关系似乎很弱。从经济增长到金融全球化,似乎存在反向因果关系。研究发现,财政审慎等国内宏观经济政策对外资具有拉动作用。这篇文章在个别国家层面上有一些有趣的结果。Jel: c33, f21, f36, f65
