TL;DR: In this article, a partial equilibrium analysis shows that the choice of trading venue depends on the tradeoff between the benefits of leverage versus differences in liquidity of the two markets, but only the liquidity difference influences this variation during information arrival.
Abstract: Contrary to the weak role of single stock derivatives found in the price discovery literature, this paper finds that single stock futures (SSF) traded on a liquid exchange have a high average information share of 49 percent, which increases by six percentage points upon information arrival. A partial equilibrium analysis shows that the choice of trading venue depends on the tradeoff between the benefits of leverage versus differences in liquidity of the two markets. Predictions about cross-sectional variations in the price discovery are validated by the empirical analysis, but only the liquidity difference influences this variation during information arrival.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a profile of social group disparities and poverty in India, where social groups are classified as scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and other social groups, and examined the factors underlying differences in levels of living between these groups and for each group separately.
Abstract: This paper seeks to provide a profile of social group disparities and poverty in India, where social groups are classified as scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and other social groups, and examine the factors underlying differences in levels of living between these groups and for each group separately. The paper argues that social group disparities in levels of living are the result of historically rooted ‘social disadvantages’ for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, by way of social exclusion and physical exclusion respectively, which continue to operate in contemporary Indian society.

TL;DR: In this article, the presence of spillover effects on domestic firms due to horizontal, backward and forward linkages with foreign firms in the Indian manufacturing industry, which affect domestic firms' productivity.
Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) has benefits both for the host country and the home country. Multinational corporations or foreign firms are supposed to have frontier technology, which are expected to have spillover effects on local firms when they enter a country. Most studies on Indian industry have focused on intra-industry spillovers and have found some evidence of this. The present study's focus is on inter-industry spillovers (for example, from auto-components to assemblers) on which there are few studies, as the literature unambiguously expects inter-industry spillovers to occur. This paper establishes the presence of spillover effects on domestic firms due to horizontal, backward and forward linkages with foreign firms in the Indian manufacturing industry, which affect domestic firms’ productivity. It also establishes that inter-industry spillovers are negative for some industries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a Prisoner's Dilemma structure to the payoffs resulting in an inefficient Nash equilibrium and derive a number of results including the size of CSR expenditure required as a fraction of profits.
Abstract: A rise in CSR (corporate social responsibility) has accompanied the nineties rise in FDI (foreign direct investment) to developing countries. CSR may be serving a signaling function when the entering firm is of unknown type. Although countries are now competing keenly to attract foreign firms, even so excessive tax or excess transfers by firms can still cause a Prisoner's Dilemma structure to the payoffs resulting in an inefficient Nash equilibrium. But CSR allows the accommodating firm to reveal its type, making cooperation the equilibrium outcome. The game differs from standard models since signaling changes the payoffs. A unique separating equilibrium exists where only the accommodating firms signal. But under certain parameter values a pooling equilibrium, where all firms signal, becomes possible. A number of results are derived including the size of CSR expenditure required as a fraction of profits. An example demonstrates their relevance in practical situations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have assessed the impact of heat stress on wheat production in India and concurrently evaluated the role of irrigation towards offsetting its harmful impact by applying the fixed effects regression technique to the highly spatially disaggregated district-level data from 1966 to 2011.
