The Covid-19 pandemic
This discussion paper by a group of scholars across the fields of health, economics and labour relations argues that COVID-19 is an unprecedented humanitarian crisis from which there can be no return to the ‘old normal’. The pandemic’s disastrous worldwide health impacts have been exacerbated by, and have compounded, the unsustainability of economic globalisation based on the neoliberal dismantling of state capabilities in favour of markets. Flow…

Economics of Immigration
Poverty, famines, wars, and ethnic conflicts lead to large movements of refugees. The papers in this book provide an analysis of the economics of immigration. Junankar discusses why people migrate, th
Inflation–growth relationship in selected Asian developing countries
We question the empirical foundation of keeping inflation at 5% or below in developing economies. Using System Generalized Method of Moments we investigate the issue in the context of 14 Asian developing countries for the period 1961–2010. We find no robust empirical justification for targeting inflation at such a low level. The inflation threshold for these countries is found around 13% and it may range between 7% and 14% depending on the level …
Factors influencing women's empowerment on microcredit borrowers
Women's empowerment in relation to microcredit programmes is a prominent issue in the literature of microcredit. Not only the founder of the Grameen Bank is awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize on the microcredit programme of Bangladesh but it has also been a topic of great interest to researchers since its introduction in mid-1970s. This study views women's empowerment from an emancipation perspective. The study uses quasi-experimental approach to…
Choosy Youth or Unwanted Youth? A Survey of Unemployment
This paper examines structure and change in unemployment in Indonesia from the 1970s through to 1996 The analysis focuses on high unemployment rates among urban youth, set in the context of similar problems experienced in other developing countries. It also deals with some of the conceptual and measurement issues. It is concluded that high youth unemployment is partly a queuing phenomenon among middle class families, related to processes of job s…
Hunger and Public Action
The response of peasant farmers to price incentives
The article is set in the context of evaluating the debate between the free‐marketeers [Schultz et al] and the institutionalists [Myrdal et al]. It surveys the literature on the application of profit functions to agricultural production in LDCs. In particular it provides a critical review of the literature which focuses on the inadequacy of economic theory, the problems of econometric specification, data limitations, and the contradictory nature …

Do Indian farmers maximise profits
The aim of this paper is to test the hypothesis that Indian farmers maximise profits under neo‐classical competitive conditions. We use a restricted profit function model (using duality theory) which gives us a set of equations that can be estimated subject to the restrictions imposed by neo‐classical economic theory. Using Farm Management Studies data from the Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu (India) for 1969/70 we test the model. Our results re…
Tests of the profit‐maximisation hypothesis
The paper presents econometric tests of a neoclassical competitive profit function model using Farm Management Studies data from the Ferozepur district of Punjab (India) for 1969/70. The aim of the paper is twofold: firstly, to test for differences in production and market behaviour of small (tenant) and large (owner) farms, and secondly, to test the validity of competitive profit‐maximising models for the agricultural sector of a less developed …

Land tenure and indian agricultural productivity
The aim of this paper is to study the effects of land tenure on agricultural production. This is an econometric study of production functions for the Ferozepur district of Punjab using Farm Management Studies data for 1968/69 and 1969/70. After a brief review of the theoretical literature, production functions are estimated to test for differences between small and large farms and for the relative inefficiency of tenants (on an inferior productio…
