Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unorganised manufacturing sector of India is operating under increasing returns to scale despite the industries being predominantly traditional in nature. Scarcity of capital compels this sector to operate at a sub-optimal level. Scheduled commercial banks plagued with NPAs under directed lending primarily due information asymmetry and monitoring problems, not only restrict supply of loans to this sector but also fail to ensure productive use of the capital advanced to this sector. Informal sources of financing is highly important to this sector and these financers having full information about borrowers are in a position to monitor the functioning of the latter often bundling of financing with other relations and at times through equity participation. Thus, informal financing ensures most productive use of scarce resource, which is reflected in terms of increasing returns to scale. Significantly positive regression coefficient of the value added per enterprise on the proportion of non-institutional finances in total outstanding loan and a negative coefficient of the regression on the share of institutional finances are again manifestation of the differences in the utilization of the finances and the quality of financial services provided by the two sources. It is argued that in order to provide adequate finances to these industries banks may operate through these informal institutions that would not only ensure proper screening, timely delivery and effective monitoring but also ensure proper use of the fund and thus safe repayment for the bank. It would thus provide a good opportunity to banks to do business with a vast sector of the economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour market flexibility is one of the most closely debated public policy issues in India. This book provides a theoretical framework to understand the subject, and empirically examines to what extent India’s ‘jobless growth’ may be attributed to labour laws. There is a pervasive view that the country’s low manufacturing base and inability to generate jobs is primarily due to rigid labour laws. Therefore, job creation is sought to be boosted by reforming labour laws. However, the book argues that if labour laws are made flexible, then there are adverse consequences for workers: dismantled job security weakens workers’ bargaining power, incapacitates trade union movement, skews class distribution of output, dilutes workers’ rights, and renders them vulnerable. The book: identifies and critically examines the theory underlying the labour market flexibility (LMF) argument employs innovative empirical methods to test the LMF argument offers an overview of the organised labour market in India comprehensively discusses the proposed/instituted labour law reforms in the country contextualises the LMF argument in a macroeconomic setting discusses the political economy of labour law reforms in India. This book will interest scholars and researchers in economics, development studies, and public policy as well as economists, policymakers, and teachers of human resource management.

Download or read book Organized Versus Unorganized Manufacturing Performance in India in the Post Reform Period written by Vinish Kathuria and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyses the productivity performance of the Indian manufacturing sector using unit level data, which is aggregated at four-digit industry level for the period 1994-95 to 2004-05 for 15 major states. The study focuses on both the organized and unorganized segments of the manufacturing sector. Both partial and total factor productivity (TFP) measures have been employed to trace the productivity performance of formal and informal manufacturing sector. TFP is estimated using Cobb-Douglas production functions at the four-digit industry level. The estimation is carried out by employing the Levinsohn-Petrin method, which uses intermediate inputs as the proxy to address the potential simultaneity bias in production function estimations. Our analysis reveals that labour productivity has increased for the organized sector over time whereas both labour productivity and capital intensity growth have slowed down in the unorganized sector during the 2000-01 to 2004-05 period. The production function analysis shows that capital has played a more significant role in the production process in both the sectors. TFP growth accelerated in the organized manufacturing sector during 2001-05 over 1995-2001 while the TFP decline that started in the first period (1995-2001) continued unabated even in the second period (2001-2005) in the unorganized manufacturing sector. We also find that output growth in both the sectors is productivity driven and not input driven. The improvement in TFPG of organized manufacturing in the post-2000 period as compared to the second half the 1990s across most states in India and that output growth was mostly productivity driven are important positive features of manufacturing performance in the post-reform period. However, the declining total factor productivity on one hand and increasing capital intensity of the unorganized sector is a cause of worry and raises several important questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial diversification continues to be an important policy goal in regional planning, because of its direct positive effect on economic growth and stability. A large number of studies in India, carried out at different geographical scales namely, national level, states, and districts show that the industrial structure of India and its regions and states is characterised by high degree of specialisation rather than diversification. However, these studies are related to the organised (or registered) manufacturing sector only. Despite the fact that the unorganised manufacturing sector, also known as the informal manufacturing sector, is vast and diverse, and occupies an important role in India's industrial sector, very few studies have attempted any systematic analysis of the structure of the unorganised enterprises, both at the national and regional levels. Therefore this paper aims to examine the industrial structure and the extent of diversification of unorganised manufacturing enterprises across the Indian states. Using data from the 51st (1994-95), 62nd (2005-06), and 67th (2010-11) “quinquennial” rounds the National Sample Survey on unorganised manufacturing enterprises, we have analysed the industrial structure of the states at two-digit industry level by employing location quotient technique, whereas the diversification coefficient has been employed to examine the degree of diversification of unorganised manufacturing enterprises in different states. We have also examined the relationship between diversification of unorganised manufacturing enterprises and level of industrial development across the states.

This book was released on 2008-09-20 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productivity growth is a keyword for sustainable economic growth in a knowledge-based society. There has been significant methodological development in the literature on productivity and efficiency analysis, e.g. SFA (Stochastic Frontier Analysis) and DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis). All these methodological developments should be matched with applications in order to provide practical implications for private and public decision-makers. This volume provides a collection of up-to-date and new applications of productivity and efficiency analysis. In particular, the case studies cover various economic issues in the Asia-Pacific region. The authors analyze the performance of manufacturing firms, banks, venture capital, broadcasting firms, as well as the issues of efficiency in the education sector, regional development, and defense industry. These case studies will shed light on the potential contribution of productivity and efficiency analysis to the enhancement of economic performance.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Unorganised Industry written by Manjit Singh and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1990-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a valuable book that tells us much about the way production is organized and labor is controlled in the unorganized sector, where millions of workers find employment and where continued growth is to be expected as Indian capitalism itself expands." --Pacific Affairs Can the unorganized sector be defined precisely? Is the informal sector markedly different from the unorganized sector? Are alternative explanations available for this phenomenon? In The Political Economy of the Unorganised Sector, Singh clarifies this conceptual confusion by examining the labor process in the unorganized industrial sector. First using a historical perspective, the author traces the growth of industrial capital and production in Europe and India, then analyzes a specific industry to explain the political economy currently in India. As a study of the interrelationship between the level of development of industrial capital and its effect, this volume develops a framework for the conceptual redefinition of the unorganized sector. An appealing addition for sociologists, industrialists, and economists.
