Abstract

The problems of urban growth and development are especially acute in India. Large numbers of urban dwellers, high rates of migration, and limited public infrastructure all place enormous burdens upon India’s cities. As a result, India has been exploring options on how to improve the sustainability of its urban centers. These efforts have included the development of programs focused on creating a more sustainable pattern of development through green building rating systems (i.e., LEED-India and GRIHA). More recently, the Government of India has announced the Smart Cities Mission to develop smart cities and the AMRUT Yojana program focused on urban renewal efforts across India. These national programs and numerous local efforts seek to create more efficient urban forms through better planning, design, and engineering. These programs also hope to use India’s limited resources more efficiently and improve residents’ overall quality of life in a sustainable manner. The chapter explores urban sustainability in India. It discusses past and current national and local sustainable urban development projects, examines specific examples of a variety of urban sustainability programs, and provides an outlook for the future.

Moving to Opportunity or Isolation? Network Effects of a Randomized Housing Lottery in Urban India
Publisher: American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2018
Abstract
|
Links
A housing lottery in an Indian city provided winning slum dwellers the opportunity to move into improved housing on the city's periphery. Fourteen years later, winners report improved housing but no change in tenure security, family income, or human capital. Winners also report increased isolation from family and caste networks and reduced informal insurance. We observe significant program exit: 34 percent of winners never took up subsidized housing and 32 percent eventually exited. Our results suggest negligible long-run economic value of this expensive public program and point to the importance of considering social networks in housing programs for the poor.

Consumers? Responses to Private Labels: Evaluations Extrinsic Cues Imitations

Abstract

Over the past few years, private labels have gained larger share in the organized retail sector. The influence of price similarity and dissimilarity on consumers’ judgments of a private label’s quality and purchase intention is studied using a controlled experiment with a sample of 356 respondents. Hypotheses are derived from relevant literature positing the effects of packaging and price on quality perception and willingness-to-buy. We hypothesize that higher price difference between private labels and national brands positively affect quality perceptions and inversely influence purchase intention. Experiments indicate that similarity of a private label packaging with a national brand has a significant effect on perceived quality and purchase intention. Likewise, the interaction effect of price and packaging strategies (imitation), in turn, positively influences the dependent variables. The results are significant the consumer packaged goods category (cookies). Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed followed by the limitation and future research

The role of the firm in worker wage dispersion: an analysis of the Ghanaian manufacturing sector
Publisher: IZA Journal of Labor & Development, 2016
Abstract
|
Links
This paper uses a linked employer-employee dataset from the Ghanaian manufacturing sector to analyze earnings dispersion in Ghana from 1992 to 2003, a period post extensive economic reforms. I find that variance of earnings increased from 1992 to 1998 and decreased thereafter, resembling an inverted u-shaped relationship. I use analysis of variance and variance decomposition approaches to understand the underlying factors that led to such a pattern in earnings inequality. I find that between-firm factors explain this pattern more than within-firm factors. I also find that the mean earnings gap between workers above and below the 90th percentile of income distribution can explain the majority of the initial surge in inequality (61 %) but only explains a very small fraction of the eventual decline (9 %). I run OLS regressions similar to Mincerian equations and decompose the variance components to find that the decline in earnings inequality is consistent with decline in variance of firm-level earnings whereas variance of predicted wage from worker characteristics have increased. I also find suggestive evidence of changing patterns of worker-firm sorting which contributes to the decline in inequality. These patterns however only hold up for private domestic firms and not for foreign-owned firms.

Payment systems in India: Opportunities and challenges
Publisher: Journal of Internet Banking and Commerce, 2016
Abstract
An efficient payment system acts as an enabler for speeding up liquidity flow in the economy, apart from ensuring proper utilization of limited resources it also eliminates systemic risks. Flow of funds across borders demands the security, integrity of the payment system and the harmonization of the systems in the related countries. The paper dwells with the need to modernize the payment system and migrate from paper-based to electronic mode of payment system to enhance efficiency and save cost. It delves in to the core of payment systems in the select countries with a comparative analysis. Benchmarking against the BIS core principles of Systemically Important Payment Systems revised as core principles of Financial Markets Infrastructure has been done to ensure convergence with the international best standards for Governance of Payment systems. The payment system of any country, though advanced and sophisticated, does face various risks, viz. bank failures, frauds, counter-party failures, etc. Such aberrations could trigger a chain-reaction that might ultimately result in disruption and distrust of the payment system. For example, if one large payment transaction cannot be settled, it disturbs other transactions leading to failure of the institutions involved in the process ultimately upsetting the entire payment system in the country. Such systematic and cascading breakdown of the payment system can hinder efficacy of monetary policy and badly impact confidence in the financial system. Minimization of systemic risk is therefore a critical challenge facing the regulators. Like in any ambitious economy, in India too, the fast advances in information technology, changes in regulatory framework, setting up of new institutions have aided to the rise of new payment practices, products and delivery channels for small as well as large value, and urgent payments. The paper shows areas for improvement in the efficiency in existing payment systems in India and the other countries especially in regard to the liquidity risk, operational risks, access criterion, transparency etc. In the end, the paper makes a modest attempt to identify opportunities and challenges for India. Numerous major changes in the payment system would take place at a quicker pace as e-commerce becomes more prevalent in the economic activities in the country.
