Economic Inequality among the Rural Tribal People in Arunachal Pradesh: An Empirical Study
Authors: Mandal Ram Krishna 
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACTA tribal economy is always characterized by the collection of their social, institutional, technological and finally economic arrangements through which the community seeks to enhance their material and social well-being. They have little knowledge and little power to influence the direction of change taking place due to broader changes in society due to impact of development of science and technology in every field. All economic and social development activities are planned for the welfare of its people and this is truly reflected in their levels of living which is the end product of all economic efforts. In recent times, the rich are very rich and poor are very poor. The middle class people are almost absent.Â There is rampant social corruption with no social audit. That is, income inequality is very rampant. Therefore, there is a vast scope for research to examine the economic inequality between these two groups in the level of their living in intra and inter region.Â So far the development consists of a series of poverty alleviation programmes, designed to widen the income earning opportunities for the poor to enhance their socio-economic status. Several rural development and poverty Alleviation Programmes have been implemented by Governments. But such programmes have not yielded the desired result. The objective of the study is to Â search the income inequalities among the rural tribal people by taking the concept that (1) poverty and inequality do not change at the same pace and they may even change in the same directions and (2) there are differences in the levels of living of people between regions, villages and even within a village due to inequality of income earned by the household or unequal distribution of wealth.
Women's Mobility in India : Missing Labour Force
Authors: Kumar Suchitra S 
Published: December 2020

This paper attempts to analyse whether womenâ€™s mobility is restricted in comparison to men. It makes an attempt to analyse both patriarchal system & womenâ€™s mobility along with Human capital model & womenâ€™s mobility. Â It attempts to examine the NSS 64th round survey (July 2007-June 2008). The NSS 64th round survey provides ample empirical data on womenâ€™s migration, sufficient to conclude that there are large chunks of migrants among woman in India. However, this copious data remains sadly unanalyzed, as there is very little literature available in this area. Unless such literature is available any empirical analysis of the data will be hardly of any significance.Â
Indiaâ€™s Recession Phase- a Review
Authors: Sachdeva J K , Bhattacharya Nupur Gupta 
Published: December 2020

Indiaâ€™s growth rate picked up from 4% during (pre-reform period) to 9 % during the first decade of this century (2001-10). Earlier India was affected less by external world depressions as it relied more on internal consumption, saving and import substitutions. However, after reforms picked up, its economy was opened to global players, share of exports, both goods and services, in GDP grew significantly. There is a consensus among economists that every economic expansion is followed by recession. During the boom, when economic growth is too fast and unsustainable, inflation increases. To reduce it, the governments deflate the economy by various ways which result into credit crunch and falling prices.Â Cost push inflation squeezes incomes and reduces disposable income. This causes a collapse in confidence of finance sector and 'real economy'. Indian economy also passed through these stages during Â 2008-12. The economic growth rate was above 8% for consecutive period of three years since 2006. However by the time it reached 2012 the GDP growth rate fell to 5% approximately. This paper is an attempt to explore the reasons for Indiaâ€™s recent fall of growth in GDP.by exploring pre-reforms and post-reforms scenario analysing the data from April, 1971- March 2012 (in short 1971 to 2011),and by examining short term quarterly data from 2008 to 2012 to explore affected sectors.
Does Corporate Tax Rate Affect FDI? Case Study of Core European Countries
Authors: Kalbasi Anaraki Nahid 
Published: December 2020

Though there is a huge amount of literature on the determinants of FDI, only a few studies have examined the impact of corporate tax rate on FDI inflow to core European countries. Indeed, European countries have experienced a huge difference in their ability to attract FDI and we suspect this is due to different tax regimes. Though traditional view has focused on the role of macroeconomic fundamentals on capital flow, more recent studies have emphasized on the impact of corporate tax rate. The question of the sensitivity of FDI to corporate tax rate is so far an uncertain empirical issue as some find evidence in the importance of tax rate others argue that countries with higher tax rate have attracted more FDI. This paper investigates whether corporate tax rate dominates the role of other macroeconomic fundamentals in shaping FDI to selected core European countries. Using panel data and fixed effect model for the period of 1990-2015 this study concludes that corporate tax rate plays a more important role than economic fundamentals in affecting FDI flow to Â core European countries; and that is why Franceâ€™s economy has stayed back of other core European countries in attracting FDI inflow.
Good Governance and Social polarization amongst Indian States and its Implication
Authors: Acharya Rekha Sanjeev , Kutumbale Vishakha Shreesh 
Published: December 2020

Economists agree that governance is one of the critical factors explaining the divergence in performance across regions / countries.Â Whenever any economy undergoes profound economic changes, it is implicitly presumed that the benefits of economic growth will automatically trickle down to poor and reduce income inequality across regions. As a result positive changes will be reflected in the form of increased employment opportunities, good standard of living and low rate of total economic crime and so on. As observed by the UNDP (1997) report that result of good governance is development that gives priority to poor, advances the cause of women, sustains the environment and creates needed opportunities for employment and other livelihoods. Therefore the phenomena of good governance are usually explained in the form of economic policies in decision making processes that must contribute to reduction in all types of inequalities across regions.On the contrary, studies on economic growth and development highlighted that the major problems of developing countries are unequal income distribution and low growth rate, which affects their welfare aspects.Â Early works done by Anderson (1964) and Aaron (1967) showed that there was an inverse relationship between growth and income distribution. However, Kaufmann, et al. (1999a, 1999b, 2002) indicated a strong causal relationship running from good governance to an increasing level of per capita income and other social outcomes. Thus we see the concept of good Governance is multifaceted and encompasses different element of the state and the society.Â Our study shows that throughout the country although there has been an increase in per capita income (measured in terms of net state domestic product NSDP, over the decade (2000-2011) but the differences emerged in terms of increase in total economic crime and employment opportunities. With the help of Lorenz Curve, we have depicted significant inequality between income and total economic crime rate. Similarly, inequality also observed for per capita employment opportunity generation for all Indian states. The coefficient of variation for per capita income and per capita employment opportunity has increased by more than 10 per cent over the decade. Whereas for total economic crime, there has been a fall in coefficient of variation for more than 13 per cent which indicate that there has been consistency in total economic crime. Our study strongly advocates that Indian economic policies fail to translate its impact in the form of good governance because it has increased inequalities across Indian states.Key Words: Polarization, good governance, Economic Crime, NSDP, Lorenz Curve, inequalities
WTO AND INDIA PAKISTAN TRADE RELATION
Authors: Khan Javid Ahmad , Agrawal Dr Sarita 
Published: December 2020

In this paper an effort is made to study the impact of WTO on India Pakistan trade relation. The present study is based on secondary data. The annual time series from 1983-84 to 2008-09 is used, which is divided into two sub periods from 1983 to 1995, before WTO and from 1995 to 2008, after WTO. Non -Econometric and Econometric approaches have been used. In non-econometric approach calculation of the chain index, graphs and tabulation, ratios, percentages, growth rates all these techniques were used for analysis. The shares in percentage terms have been calculated. Under econometric approach GDP of three economies are taken as independent variables and bilateral trade flow as dependent variable. The reasons for taken these three variables are to analyze it in context of the size of three economies at large. In this way the model is restricted gravity model of the trade which supported that trade is positively related with the size of the economies and inversely with distance. Simple test of stability of parameters has worked out to know the impact statistically. Â It was found that there was not a significant impact of the WTO on the bilateral trade of India and Pakistan.Â Following the findings the study recommended that in order to make any policy effective the realization of the mutual benefit from the bilateral trade is important. The study also provides scope that to make any policy effective close economic ties are important for both counties which will not have trade effect but restoration of political stability effect as well.
Dynamic Approach for Financial Asset Price by Feynman â€“Kac Formula
Authors: Behera Prashanta kumar 
Published: December 2020

Â This paper has obtains the partial differential equation that describes the expected price of a financial asset whose price is a stochastic process given by a stochastic differential equation. We tried finding the expected selling price of an asset and exiting time by using of Feynman â€“Kac Formula. We assume that the asset is sold at the moment when its price rises above or falls below a certain limit, and thus the solutionÂ vÂ has to satisfyÂ x - v = 0Â at the boundary pointsÂ x. The expected selling price depends nearly linearly on the price at timeÂ t, and also weakly onÂ t and the expected payoff of an asset for which a limit sales order has been placed and the same asset without sales order over a time spanÂ T, as a function ofÂ t

The revival of trade in the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU)
Authors: Sonia Idrissi , Tlili Afef 
Published: December 2020

In particular, transport infrastructure can be seen as a lever for economic and social development, as it can be an important accelerator of the regional integration process in the southern Mediterranean. Several studies have shown that the improvement of infrastructure and the redevelopment of ports, airports, railways and roads have positive effects on economic growth, employment, industry and competitiveness. More importantly, improving the flow of goods and people illustrates a major indicator of regional integration. In many countries, economic recovery cannot begin without upgrades to the infrastructure. In this Communication, we have shown the important role of the transport sector and its major contribution to improving intra-AMU trade. The results show that the transport factor in the southern region is still weak and unable to advance its integration process. This weakness will encourage these countries to pursue an adequate strategy that will advance the process of regional integration and the development of production capacities and infrastructure in order to achieve the objectives of their economic growth.
DIGITALIZATION IN THE 21st CENTURY
Authors: Hans V Basil , Crasta Shawna Jill 
Published: December 2020

World is changing at dizzying speed. The Internet is not only fascinating buy is also rapidly affecting our work and life. How do we prepare students for jobs that have not yet been created, for technologies that have not yet been invented? It has been estimated that our current skill sets would last only â€œthe next decade or twoâ€. Knowledge is no longer limited to set theories or single idea or linear thinking. What is required is the capacity to think across disciplines, connect ideas and â€œconstruct informationâ€. The distinguishing fact from fiction is essential in our digital age and requires, â€œthe capacity of young people to see the world through different perspectives, appreciate different ideas, and be open to different culturesâ€. Information for tomorrow has to be for transformation. Hence â€œlearn, unlearn, and relearnâ€ is the modern mantra of education. In countries like India, where illiteracy and lack of education are still haunting is it possible to achieve digital empowerment and inclusive growth? Is digital disruption cost-effective? How to overcome technophobia? These are some of the research questions that this paper tries to address based on theoretical and empirical data. This paper explores ways and means of digitally empowering marginalised communities living in socio-economic backwardness and poverty. Our finding is that digitalization per se is a complex programme and evolves with the perception and participation of the stakeholders. It suggests blending of technological and human approaches that strengthen the enabling and evaluatory mechanisms of digital empowerment.

Development of Optimum Portfolio for Investment in Oil & Gas Sector (Investor’s View)
Authors: Gupta Sumeet , Basak Sourav 
Published: December 2020

With establishment of International Solar Alliance in New Delhi and due to the push given to renewable energy by the current government India has opened new dimension for innovation, investment and industry. This government has made a significant effort to push India’s renewable energy ambition. Due to this push India is now the 4th largest wind power producer in the world only behind of China, USA & Germany. India has made record addition to the solar power capacity in last 5 years. Although the recently concluded Financial Year (FY19) has shown a dip in installation of solar power with only 6500MW installed in the year. With this trend in the country the researchers are focusing on the scenario of renewable energy in India. So, the papers which are recently made available in the public domain are concerned with the current scenario. The surge in renewable energy is a good sign for the nation as renewable is the future. Though the rising demand of the fastest growing economy of the world can’t be satisfied with this growth in renewable energy. In simply words, the growth of the renewable energy is not enough to sustain the growth of the Indian economy. This statement is supported by the growing dependence of India on imported crude oil. Dependence of imported crude oil has gone up to 83.7% in Financial Year 19 from 82% in FY18. Hence, it can be said that the oil and gas sector is not getting the required focus.
Development of an optimum portfolio to minimize risk and maximize return is required before taking any investment decision. Portfolio optimization is required when you think of investing in oil and gas sector as its one of the most volatile sectors. This study is focused on developing an optimum portfolio for investment in oil and gas sector in India. Hence, 11 companies listed on Bombay Stock Exchange is selected for the study. Risk and return of all the 11 companies are calculated. The companies are ranked according to their risk. Weightage of investment is assigned to the top 5 companies (with lowest risk).
The study has been conducted to construct an optimum portfolio of oil and gas companies using Markowitz Model. The study has been conducted on individual securities listed in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The objectives of this study are:

Risk and return analysis of individual securities of oil and gas companies in India listed with BSE.

To identify the opportunities of investment in oil and gas companies and development of an optimum portfolio for investment in these companies.

To construct optimal portfolio using Markowitz Model.

To check whether Markowitz Model performs well in Oil and gas companies well in BSE or not.

Rural Poverty - Irrigation Nexus in Tamil Nadu
Authors: Gurunathan S 
Published: December 2020

While analysing the independent relationship between groundwater irrigation and the rural poverty, the results of the study had shown that there is a significant inverse relationship between the incidence of rural poverty and groundwater irrigated area.Â In most states where today the incidence of poverty is high, irrigation is on the low side, with significant potentiality for its extension. Therefore the development of irrigation not only increases the production and productivity of agricultural commodities but also helps to reduce the level of poverty. A long-term policy should be formulated to utilize the untapped irrigation potential of the state.

Published: December 2020

Though with a very long standing history of a century the growth cycles have once again been in the limelight of thinking of modern economists of 1960 and that of 1995. However, the 21st century growth cycles have been in the focus for policy makers of both developed and developing countries alike. The globalization phenomena has added newÂ dimension to these business cycles and have been a matter of time to time concerns of the policy makers of the developing countries which by nature have a vivid experience in different sectors of the economy. Indeed in the result years it is the current fluctuations which have occupied a prime place in all the economy which are going to be tied or cemented through trade, what attempts are essential and harmonious so as to control these short term growth fluctuations and what political and economic compromises are needed requires a brief analysis this what had been attempted in the paper.
Indo-ASEAN Economic Ties: A Study of North-East India

Published: December 2020

With the emergence of globalization, the need for economic integration has been realized by the international communities and lately by the Less Developed Countries (LDCs). Most of the countries both developed and less developed, have reoriented their development strategies to improve their growth performance by integrating their economies with the world economy. In this process, India has experienced some significant changes and the country is identified as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. In this direction, Indiaâ€™s Look East Policy is worth mentioning. Under this policy, India seeks economic cooperation with the ASEANÂ and its neighbouring countries through North-Eastern Region (NER) of the country
Urbanization in Arunachal Pradesh: Trends and Patterns 1961-2000
Authors: Mandal Ram Krishna 
Published: December 2020

An overview of the process of urbanization in the State of Arunachal Pradesh during the last two decades brings out the inadequacy of the existing institutional structure in managing urban centers in the â€œborderlessâ€ world of today. These institutions are noted to have least capacity to deal with the demands and pressures that are being generated as a result of the present focus of globalization.Â Managing these processes was considered to be an exclusive responsibility of the government and state owned and state led institutions, just a few decades back. Now, under a decentralized system of planning, it is viewed as a joint responsibility of stakeholders like industrial and business enterprises, public and private organizations and resident associations, etc. These tasks include providing the infrastructural services and other civic amenities etc. for the urban dwellers. Cities and towns are a product of complex forces that include market dynamics, over which town and city managers have only a limited control. Consequently the extent to which an individual city or town can accelerate or retard its economic, social, or for that matter, demographic growth, depend largely on internal dynamics and external factors boosting the dynamics.The new perspective, thus, urges the government at different levels in the hierarchy to function in collaboration with the other stakeholders, if they want to make an impact on the pace, pattern and trend of urbanization.
