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.

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.

The nuclear novel in Pakistan

Abstract

This chapter considers a selection of novels from Pakistan and its diasporic writers that deal with nuclear weapons. The chapter outlines how novelists have responded in various ways to Pakistan’s 1998 nuclear armament. This analysis of literary and genre fiction demonstrates how the heterogeneous novelistic responses – a contentious mixture of pride, audacious hope, and fear – correspond to the political complexity of nuclearised Pakistan, as well as to the expansive metaphoric capacity of the image of ‘the bomb’.

Recent evidence shows that Indian economy is experiencing a slowdown in private investment. Even after a significant decline in interest rates over the last two years, credit growth, particularly industrial credit growth, and private investment have remained sluggish. We examine the link between monetary policy and private investment in India by applying mixed-frequency vector autoregressive (MIDAS-VAR) method to monthly yield on 91-day T-bill, a proxy for monetary policy tool on quarterly bank loans, private investment, and gross domestic product. Mixed-frequency regression analysis includes variables of different frequencies into the analysis without the need for aggregating the higher-frequency variables into lower-frequency ones. Converting higher-frequency variables into lower-frequency variables often referred to as temporal aggregation is known to have an adverse impact on statistical inferences. MIDAS performs better in recovering the causal relationships between variables released at different frequencies when compared to the conventional common low-frequency approach by allowing having heterogeneous impacts on a low-frequency variable within each low-frequency time period. The mixed-frequency analysis reveals an interesting mix of results linking the monetary policy to the private investment in India. A comparative analysis with single-frequency (quarterly) analysis underestimates the influence of monetary policy. The mixed-frequency approach, therefore, yields richer economic insights into India’s sluggish investment than the classical single-frequency approach.

Changes in the Executive Bonus Payment Patterns in India Between 2008 and 2016: Some Evidences
Publisher: Compensation and Benefits Review, 2018
Abstract
This article provides a brief overview of the trends in bonus payment to executives in India. Using data from the voluntary web based survey of Paycheck India, which is a part of WageIndicator Foundation, this article analyzes the trends in five types of bonuses, viz., performance, end-of-year, festival, profit-share and others, from 2008 to 2016, across public and private sectors and four types of industries, viz., manufacturing and construction; trade, transport and hospitality; commercial services; and public sector, health care and education. The results suggest that performance bonus is the most popular type of bonus, while profit-share is the least popular. However, from 2008 to 2016, the shares of all types of bonuses in both sectors (Public and Private) and all industries have been declining, and in most of the large industries and firms, bonuses in terms of cash payments are now restricted to fewer executives.
