Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most of the empirical writings regarding demand for labour in the Indian organized industry, scholars have estimated mostly gross employment-output elasticity for different sub-periods representing different decades. They have computed growth rates in output and employment by either the simple average for the period or by simple exponential method. Some authors have also obtained labour demand functions for the same sub-periods. The present paper is a departure from earlier studies in respect of, (i) the use of kink method to find out the growth rates for the sub-periods of structural breaks; (ii) testing the structural breaks with the help of CHOW test; (iii) testing the time series for stationarity; (iv) use of capital cost as an input in labour demand function; (v) the estimation of the function separately for production and non-production workers; and (vi) estimation of the functions with the help of Instrument Variable method. It has been observed that the kink method is the most appropriate for finding out growth rates. Instrument Variable method, which provides consistent estimates, gives higher values for short run elasticity and lower values for long run elasticity as compared to OLS. Therefore, any employment projections based on OLS estimates will be biased and have far reaching policy consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Daniel Hamermesh provides the first comprehensive picture of the disparate field of labor demand. The author reviews both the static and dynamic theories of labor demand, and provides evaluative summaries of the available empirical research in these two subject areas. Moreover, he uses both theory and evidence to establish a generalized framework for analyzing the impact of policies such as minimum wages, payroll taxes, job- security measures, unemployment insurance, and others. Covering every aspect of labor demand, this book uses material from a wide range of countries.
Download or read book Wage Labour in Developing Agriculture written by Sunil Kanwar and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an empirical study of labour supply and demand issues in semi-arid developing agriculture, explicitly accounting for the presence of the production risk that impinges on farm decision making. It further analyses and empirically tests for the interdependence between the production risk that farmers face in the process of self-cultivation and the labour market risk (or uncertainty of finding off-farm work) that they face when operating in the local labour market. The empirical estimation is based on a unique and relatively comprehensive panel data set relating to a sample of rural households operating in the Indian semi-arid tropics. The presence of unemployment in the local labour market is acknowledged by the formulation and estimation of a disequilibrium model of the labour market, supplementing the partial analyses of labour supply and demand. A comparison of the results of the alternative models, partial and simultaneous, allows a more complete analysis of the issues involved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Hoffman shatters the widespread myth that traditional agricultural societies in early modern Europe were socially and economically stagnant and ultimately dependent on wide-scale political revolution for their growth. Through a richly detailed historical investigation of the peasant agriculture of ancien-régime France, the author uncovers evidence that requires a new understanding of what constituted economic growth in such societies. His arguments rest on a measurement of long-term growth that enables him to analyze the economic, institutional, and political factors that explain its forms and rhythms. In comparing France with England and Germany, Hoffman arrives at fresh answers to some classic questions: Did French agriculture lag behind farming in other countries? If so, did the obstacles in French agriculture lurk within peasant society itself, in the peasants' culture, in their communal property rights, or in the small scale of their farms? Or did the obstacles hide elsewhere, in politics, in the tax system, or in meager opportunities for trade? The author discovers that growth cannot be explained by culture, property rights, or farm size, and argues that the real causes of growth derived from politics and gains from trade. By challenging other widely held beliefs, such as the nature of the commons and the workings of the rural economy, Hoffman offers a new analysis of peasant society and culture, one based on microeconomics and game theory and intended for a wide range of social scientists.

Download or read book Work Behavior of the World s Poor written by Mohammed Sharif and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. The working poor of the world are observed to engage in long hours in hard jobs and to work more if wages are further reduced. Mainstream economics brushes off this tendency to increase labour supply as wages fall as perverse because it does not fit the conventional wisdom and tries to explain it as a result of "subsistence mentality", "limited aspiration", or "target income" behaviour of the poor. This however ignores the observed fact that the poor work long hard hours but most of the time, fail to meet their minimum needs of subsistence and live impoverished lives in absolute poverty deficient of both food and physical rest. This book postulates that the observed behaviour is the result of economic distress the working poor suffer and analyses it as a rational behaviour using the conventional utility maximization framework and derives both theoretical and empirical results consistent with the observation. This book aims to correct a serious misconception persisting in the literature relating to the working-poor labour-supply behaviour that is almost universally observed. It also goes onto develop, using the supply function, a methodology to determine the standard of subsistence income and physical rest for the worker.

Download or read book International Development Governance written by Ahmed Shafiqul Huque and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 904 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The establishment of good governance is a major challenge for the developing world, along with the need to sustain the progress resulting from developmental efforts. Although there are numerous studies on the development and governance of emerging nations, few volumes make a serious effort to bring together these two critical concepts. International Development Governance combines the two concepts - development and governance - by examining the issues and problems faced by nations in their attempts to establish sustainable governance. This textbook also initiates discussions on the concept of development governance in an international context. The book fills the gap in existing literature by drawing upon the experience and expertise of scholars from a broad spectrum of knowledge. Their views explain the issues and problems with reference to a number of tools that could establish "development governance" and sustain it. The text offers in-depth examinations of developmental sectors, resulting in a textbook that will inspire future public officials, policy makers, and consultants to contribute to the betterment of life for citizens of developing countries.
