TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a new-Keynesian model with imported oil used both in production and consumption and tested five different hypotheses for these effects: smaller share of oil in production, more flexible labour markets, improvements in monetary policy, technology catch-up, and government intervention.
Abstract: The evidence from the first chapter suggest that when compared over two period pre 1990s and post 1990s the effect of oil prices on developing country’s macro economy has changed a lot. While pre 1990 saw larger impact on prices post 1990s experienced effects on real variables. In order to shed light on the possible factors behind the change in the macroeconomic effects of oil price shocks, I developed a new-Keynesian model, with imported oil used both in production and consumption. Five different hypotheses for these effects were tested (a) smaller share of oil in production, (b) more flexible labour markets, (c) improvements in monetary policy, (d) Technology Catch-up (e)Government Intervention. Conclusion was that all the five played an important role.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how far this consensus is valid? How far the database is suitable for such assessments? What are its implications for the observed trends in poverty estimates in the context of dynamic structural changes in the rural economy?
Abstract: Solution for any problem calls for its proper assessment and estimate. Polices, both macro and micro, for providing safety-nets for the poor in developing countries like India are often formulated with inadequate appreciation of empirical and methodological aspects. As a result factually incorrect assessments of the problem and its magnitude are made, which lead to wrong choice and design of instruments and policies. This issue is examined with reference to India. There is a consensus that incidence of poverty with reference to the calorie intake criterion has declined since the mid-1970s to about 35 per cent of the population. The study examines how far this consensus is valid? How far the database is suitable for such assessments? What are its implications for the observed trends in poverty estimates in the context of dynamic structural changes in the rural economy? The study concludes that the estimates do not show a real reduction in poverty but only a reduction in overestimation of poverty for the initial years followed by its underestimation for the later years. Even today about 75 per cent of the population is calorie deficient largely due to income poverty. This calls into question the choice of policy measures to reduce fiscal deficit by restricting welfare programmes and poverty alleviation measures only to the population currently believed to be poor.

TL;DR: Analysis of distribution of Out-of-Pocket (OOP) health expenditure across six Indian states and analysing determinants of OOP health expenditure shows that poor households, households from rural area, and households with more children and elderly persons spend larger proportion on health care.
Abstract: The present paper aims at examining distribution of Out-of-Pocket (OOP) health expenditure across six Indian states and analysing determinants of OOP health expenditure. For this purpose, World Health Survey data for the year 2003 are used. Findings show that poor households, households from rural area, and households with more children and elderly persons spend larger proportion on health care. Education and insurance reduce OOP health expenditure and thus can be explored as possible policy instruments to reduce OOP health spending.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors model joint implementation for emission reduction between a developed and a developing country, and show that the Pareto optimal JI can be achieved only when the governments negotiate over both abatement and transfer.
Abstract: This paper models joint implementation (JI) for emission reduction between a developed and a developing country. When the per unit price of JI abatement is negotiated, the relative pay-offs deviate from the ratio of bargaining powers. When firms bargain, country-wise gains can increase with a greater abatement target. But if the governments bargain, the developing country's gains increase at the expense of the developed country as the target increases. However, the Pareto optimal JI can be achieved only when the governments negotiate over both abatement and transfer.
