How Do International Trade Gains Affect Energy Prices? Evidence from the OECD Economies
This paper examines the influence of international trade gains (measured by the International Trade Potential Index) on real energy prices using panel data from 28 OECD economies from 1995 to 2015.The empirical models also control the role of gross domestic product per capita and total population.The paper utilises the Dynamic Common Correlated Effects, Cross-sectionally Augmented Distributed Lag and the Augmented Mean Group estimations.The findi…
Linking Household and Service Provisioning Assessments to Estimate a Metric of Effective Health Coverage
Poor quality of care was divulged as a major factor of decline in coverage. Policy recommendations such as bolstering the quality via the effective implementation of government flagship programs along with initiatives such as integrated incentive schemes to attract and retain workforce and community-based monitoring are suggested
Illness to poverty in India
In India, regardless of the government’s efforts to control health expenditures, people face large out-of-pocket expenditures (OOPE) for medical bills. Thus, people rely on hardship financing practices such as borrowing or selling to meet their health needs. The southern state of Kerala leads India in a demographic transition, resulting in a lower demographic dividend and an increased older adult population. In this context, we aim to understand …
Wealth and education-related inequalities in the utilisation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health interventions within scheduled tribes in India
The study results underscore the urgent need of targeted policies and interventions to address the inequalities in accessing RMNCH services among ST communities. A multi-dimensional approach that considers the socioeconomic, cultural and geographical factors affecting healthcare should be adopted while formulating health policies to reduce inequalities in access to healthcare
Illnesses and hardship financing in India
Government intervention is quintessential to decrease the hardship financing caused by cancer. The intra-household inequalities play an important role in explaining their hardship financing strategies. We suggest the need for more financial risk protection for outpatient care to address hardship financing
Examining the dynamic synthesis between environmental quality, economic globalization, and economic complexity in OECD countries

Intertemporal budget constraint and current account sustainability
This paper examines the sustainability of the current account deficit (CAD) and validity of the intertemporal budget constraint of India for the period of 1980 to 2019. The cointegration results show that exports and imports are not cointegrated and the current account (CA) series is not mean reverting during the study period. Therefore, the results refute the sustainability of CAD and the validity of the intertemporal budget constraint in the In…
Dynamic relationship between fiscal deficit and current account deficit in India
Dynamic relationship between fiscal deficit and current account deficit in India
This study examines the dynamic relationship between fiscal balance and current account balance and also tests the 'twin deficit' hypotheses for India using quarterly data from 1996q1 to 2016q1. Empirical results support the existence of the twin deficit hypothesis and also suggest a reverse causality running from the current account balance to fiscal balance. These results have important policy implications for maintaining a lower current accoun…
Examining the cyclical pattern of remittance flow, migrants stock, and income of 31 pairs of countries with India
This study has examined the cyclical pattern of remittances, migrants’ stock, and income of 31 pairs of countries with India for the period from 2010 to 2016. The main motivation was to examine whether immigration and emigration policies play an influential role to improve welfare between the host and origin country or not in terms of bilateral remittance flows. As our bilateral remittance and migrant stock data follow a binomial distribution, so…
Horizontal inequity in the utilisation of Continuum of Maternal Health care Services (CMHS) in India
Our study concludes that there exists a pro-rich inequity in the utilisation of CMHS with marked variations across state boundaries. The pro-rich inequity in India has increased between 2005 and 06 and high focus group states suffered predominantly. Decentralisation of healthcare policies and granting greater power to the states might lead to equitable distribution of CMHS
Stakeholders’ Perspective on Working Towards a Healthy Ageing Society
Horizontal inequity in self-reported morbidity and untreated morbidity in India
Pro-rich and pro-poor inequities in reported and untreated morbidities respectively persisted from 2004 to 2017-18 despite reforms in Indian healthcare. Magnitude of these inequities declined marginally over the years. Health policy in India should strive for targeted interventions closing inequity gap
Assessing the household economic burden of non-communicable diseases in India
Substantial proportion of households face CHE and subsequent impoverishment due to NCD related expenses. Concerted efforts are required to augment the financial risk protection to the households, especially in regions with higher burden of NCDs
Healthy Ageing in India; A Quantile Regression Approach
Participation of older adults in the intra-household decision-making activities
Purpose This study aims to document the participation of intra-household decision-making activities by older adults in India. Design/methodology/approach This study has used a nationally representative sample of 21,662 older adults (aged 60 and above) from the Longitudinal Ageing Study of India data of 2017–2018. Intra-household decision-making participation is measured based on decision-making activities that includes marriage of daughter/son, b…
Effects of economic growth towards government health financing of Indian states
This paper analyses the performance of government health financing situation of Indian states and evaluates the long-run effects of rising economic growth on assessing fiscal space for health over the period 1980–2014. Our empirical result shows that rising state’s gross domestic product stimulates the growth of government health expenditure in the long run. Further, the elasticity of government health financing with respect to state’s gross dome…
