Challenges and opportunities in conducting patent audits in Indian academic institutions
This research paper examines the critical role of patent audits in enhancing intellectual property (IP) management within Indian academic institutions. With the growing emphasis on innovation and research in Indian universities, patents have become a vital tool for protecting and commercializing academic discoveries. However, the lack of systematic patent audits has led to challenges, including abandoned patents, missed commercialization opportun…
ESG Performance and Green Bond Issuance in Indian Financial Institutions
This study examines how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance influences green financing within India's financial sector, using cross‐sectional data from 99 financial institutions for FY2023–24. Employing probit regression to estimate the likelihood of green bond issuance and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression to analyze the volume of green financing (bond proceeds and loans), the study addresses a key gap in emerging‐marke…
Does family composition drive future fertility desire and contraceptive use? An evidence based on National Family Health Survey (2015–2016), India
The levels and trends of contraceptive use before first birth in India (2015–16)
The noticeable result in this study is the comparative decline in contraceptive use by women in India before first birth in NFHS-4 with respect to previous NFHS done in India. The likelihood of using contraception before first birth is significantly affected by factors like place of residence, religion, caste, current age of women, age at marriage, education level of women, wealth index, media exposure and zonal classification
Post-earthquake housing reconstruction in the Sikkim Himalaya
The Himalayan state of Sikkim, India was hit by an earthquake in 2011 that caused widespread devastation. This article reports on the housing reconstruction project in the state, focusing on three questions: what are the key planning decisions, what are the main implementation challenges, and what are the lessons learnt? The findings indicate that key planning decisions need to be taken on implementation mechanisms, financing strategies, benefici…
Firm-Level Early Intervention Incentives
The declining economic status of people with disabilities and the predicted 2016 depletion of the Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund have generated considerable interest in proposals for reforming the DI program. Some proposals would hold firms partially responsible for a portion of the DI benefits paid to their recent employees. We analyze the implications of this approach for employers and workers in general, and specifically …
Application of the Health Belief Model to Teach Complementary Feeding Messages in Ethiopia
In Ethiopia many women do not practice appropriate complementary feeding (CF). The Health Belief Model (HBM) asserts that change in behavior is determined after consideration of severity, benefit, and barriers to change. This study examined the effectiveness of 3 months of HBM-based education compared to the traditional (didactic) method on CF practices of mothers, with no education as control, using three randomized groups. One hundred sixty-six…
