Eat Well : Smart Intervention Plan for Bulimia in the Indian Context
Publisher: Journal of Psychosocial Research 13 (2), 369-380, 2019
Abstract
|
Links
There has been an increase in the incidence of eating disorders worldwide in recent times, particularly among the cohort of adolescent girls. It is known that psychological factors of shame and guilt associated with binging and purging are often seen in individuals with bulimia. These cognitions could also cause the individual to refrain from seeking one-on-one professional help. Given the Indian sociological context, virtual intervention in the form of online counselling and other such platforms may prove to be a direct, confidential and affordable solution, in comparison to traditional one-on-one counselling. This paper thus discusses the idea and design for a phone app – ‘Eat Well’ targeted specifically to help individuals with bulimia, in a manner that would be relevant to the Indian context

Interdisciplinary Curriculum and Leadership Education: The Case of FLAME University, India
Publisher: In: Nishimura M., Sasao T. (eds) Doing Liberal Arts Education. Education Innovation Series. ?Springer, Singapore, 2019
Abstract
|
Links
FLAME University can truly be said to be a pioneer of liberal arts education in India. This chapter provides a historical perspective to the current Indian higher education system and its deficiencies. It explains why and how FLAME came to depart from conventional university education and nurture the intellectual and personal development of the individual rather than provide a narrowly academic and vocational course of study. FLAME’s model of liberal arts education is based on an inter- and multidisciplinary approach to cultivating thoughtful, sensitive, tolerant, ethical, and well-informed citizens who can occupy leadership positions in all walks of life. But as shown, it also has its roots in Indian culture and philosophy, as shown in the Discover India Program which also serves as an example of the intersection of interdisciplinary learning and personal development. The chapter concludes with the lessons learned and challenges that remain.

‘Incentive conscious’ agents and moral hazard
Publisher: Indian Economic Review, 2019
Abstract
|
Links
This paper characterizes the structure of monetary incentives with varying agent incentive-consciousness. Incentive consciousness arises when the valuation of incentive among agents differs with situations. Using a moral hazard framework with limited liability we show that for agents with low outside option optimal incentive pay is independent of incentive-consciousness whereas for agents with high outside option increased incentive-consciousness leads to increased incentive payment. For agents with very high incentive-consciousness such that the limited liability does not bind, an exogenous increase in incentive-consciousness leads to an unambiguous decrease in optimal incentive payment. Thus, the paper provides a non-monotonic relation between incentive consciousness and optimal incentive pay. With incentive-consciousness, inefficiency in the effort will exist with risk-neutral principal and agent even in the absence of limited liability. This runs contrary to standard incentive theory.

Corporate environmental responsibility, motivational factors, and effectiveness: A case of Indian iron and steel industry
Publisher: Journal of Public Affairs, 2019
Abstract
|
Links
This study provides an understanding of motivational factors that lead to the adoption of an environmental management system (EMS) from the perspective of resource‐based view theory. Further, the role of EMS has been examined to reduce energy intensity by estimating the average treatment effect. Therefore, different logistic regression has been estimated to find out major motivational factors. Results from the logit model validate the role of firm's size, age, and ownership in motivating firms to adopt an EMS whereas regulatory pressure does not influence the firm's adoption of EMS. Furthermore, negative average treatment effect shows the effectiveness of certification in reducing energy intensity. The comparative analysis of sustainability report indicates that TATA Steel outperforms in terms of carbon emission intensity as compared with Steel Authority of Indian Limited, Jindal power and steel limited, JSW Steel, and average Indian firms. Nonetheless, top Indian steel companies are far behind the global best practices in terms of energy, water, emission, and effluent performance indicators

Exploring relationship between sustainability and firm performance in travel and tourism industry: a global evidence

Abstract

"Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine whether sustainable and responsible investing (SRI) outperforms the benchmark index investing across different time frames globally.
Design/methodology/approach
Based on the systematic weighted environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings compiled by Thomson Reuters Asset4, the authors assess the stock market performance and risk of highly compliant firms portfolio in seven different countries; grouped as developed and developing nations over different time frames by adopting the Jensen’s alpha model (CAPM) and the Fama and French three-factor model.
Findings
The study finds that SRI portfolios significantly underperform their benchmark index, in case of, the developing nations, however, enjoy a significantly lower risk. This is contrary to the findings in case of developed nations, where the US SRI portfolio has significantly outperformed the benchmark index and the UK and Australia SRI portfolios have performed in line with the benchmark index. Finally, the study discusses results and implications for regulators, practitioners and investors’ who believe in the SRI investing.
Research limitations/implications
This study provides empirical support for the practitioners, policymakers and investors emphasizing that in the case of developed nations SRI investments generate a significant excess return or at the best perform in line with the broader market index. However, in the case of developing nations, very few firms are consistently rated on ESG parameters. This provides lesser options for investors in developing nations to apply the “impact first” philosophy of investment. The investor’s community and regulators need to make a serious effort in promoting firms to take up sustainability effort seriously.
Originality/value
The unique contribution of this study is that it considers a wider definition of the term “sustainability” and examines the performance of SRI investment in developed vs developing countries. This is one of the few studies at the global level, which highlights whether sustainable investing generates abnormal risk-adjusted returns for the investors."
