Growth after the storm
Despite the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, their macroeconomic impact remains debated in the economic literature. Therefore, this study re-examines the macroeconomic costs of natural disasters by assessing their impact on both overall and sector-specific growth across four major disaster types in the short- to medium-term. Drawing on panel data of Lower Middle-Income Countries (LMCs) for the period 1980–2024, this study e…
Undergoing Motherhood as an Interstate Labor Migrant
Motherhood is not only highly revered but adequately protected by patriarchal norms in Indian society. However, labor migration due to livelihood emergencies exposes women to a harsh and unusual reality. The current study attempts to capture the subjective experiences of women undergoing motherhood in a migrant situation. The research design for the current study was explorative; thus, the researcher used an unstructured interview schedule to col…
Financial inclusion in India
Though the relevance of grassroots institutions for financial inclusion (FI) is widely recognised, we still do not fully understand its differential effect on FI, particularly in relation to commercial banks. To investigate this issue, we consider the household's moneylender dependence as an indicator of financial exclusion and thus our outcome variable. Further, we have developed FI indices using indicators of commercial and cooperative banks, w…
Protecting land and livelihood under climate risks
Women online
Income‐generating activities by women are an effective means of reducing gender‐based deprivation and disparities. In the constrained familial and community settings of developing economies, online platforms can be an appropriate means for women to carry out economic activities. In this context, important initiatives taken by the Government of India, such as the Common Service Centres scheme, are worth studying. This paper critically evaluates su…
Group lending through an SHG bank-linkage programme in India
Group lending is useful in channelling credit to the self-employed poor in developing countries, to whom banks usually prefer not to lend, and formation of self-help groups (SHGs) helps facilitate this. In India, SHGs can access credit through private microfinance organisations or can approach banks through a state-led bank-linkage programme. Scholars argue that transaction costs are high while borrowing from banks despite relatively lower intere…
The Impact of Infrastructure Provisioning on Inequality in India
This paper analyses the link between physical infrastructure and inequality and focuses on 17 major Indian states. The Gini coefficient was used as the dependent variable computed using data on monthly per capita consumption expenditure (MPCE), which was estimated from unit-level records of the periodical Household Consumer Expenditure surveys of National Sample Survey Organization for the years 1983, 1987–88, 1993–94, 2004–05, and 2009–10. By ev…
