29 January 2020: A Glass Half Full: Changes in Indian Standards of Living since 2012

Sonalde Desai,
NCAER & University of Maryland

Discussant:
Partha Mukhopadhyay, Centre for Policy Research,

Abstract:
The National Sample Survey (NSS), the flagship survey providing information on standards of living in India, has recently come under criticism as the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) chose not to release the results of the 2017-18 NSS Consumption Expenditure Survey. The NSSO has noted that the data quality for this survey is unreliable. One of the challenges facing the interpretation of consumption data over this period is the difficulty in disentangling long-term, secular changes in consumption expenditure from the short-term shock caused by the November 2016 demonetisation, which led to a cash shortage and is believed to have adversely affected the incomes of small businesses, informal workers, and others dependent on cash, and therefore their consumption. In her paper, Desai uses data from the India Human Development Survey (IHDS) to provide an independent assessment of changes in living standards for 4,828 households in the states of Bihar, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand during 2011-12 and 2017, and compares these to the changes in living standards between 2004-05 and 2011-12, based also on the IHDS.

21 January 2019: Book launch of "The Land Question in Urban Development"

Edited by:
Shashanka Bhide, Former Director, Madras Institute of Development Studies and Devendra B. Gupta, National Council of Applied Economic Research

Abstract:
India is one of the most land-scarce countries in the world. This scarcity has been increasing at a rapid pace in urban India. The resulting rise in urban land prices has led to the growth of unauthorised settlements, inadequate infrastructure, squalor, and homeless populations. Land regulation is hampered by the absence of systematic data collection and analysis, and by poorly drafted laws and the limited management capacities of urban development agencies. Despite these concerns, urban economics in India has remained a neglected field of policymaking and policy assessment. This edited conference volume contains invited papers from NCAER’s Round Table in New Delhi on Land Economics–Issues and Challenges. The Editors also commissioned several additional papers that the Round Table did not cover. The ten papers cover the full array of problems that confront India’s urban areas. It is a testimony both to the quality of these papers and to the persistence of the problems that the papers remain fully relevant and have much to offer four years after the NCAER Round Table.

17 January 2018: PRIndex: A Global Indicator of Citizens’ Perceptions of Property Rights

Malcolm Childress and David Spievack
Land Alliance

Abstract:
Property rights are a cornerstone of both economic development and social justice. However, there is no well-established methodology to-date to measure and reasonably compare property rights as perceived by citizens over time and across countries. Building on initial pilot data collected from nine countries including Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Greece, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Peru and Tanzania in 2016 and 2017, PRIndex plans to collect data from an additional 36 countries across the world in 2018, creating the world’s first comprehensive account of people’s perceptions and opinions of property rights. The presentation will recapitulate the history of PRIndex, discuss results from its most recent round of testing in India, Tanzania, and Colombia, and share current plans and timelines for 2018.

PRIndex is an initiative supported by the Omidyar Network and DFID, the UK Department for International Development, and implemented by Land Alliance in association with Gallup, Inc. Land Alliance is a think-and-do tank that tests new approaches to defining and managing rights, shares expertise and best practices globally, and supports groups working to scale the solution of land issues. It works to find solutions to the complex development challenges of cities, rural landscapes and forests by aligning local, national and international resources.

7 December 2017: Market failure, government failure, and the welfare of poor people

Shantayanan Devarajan
World Bank

Abstract:
In many areas of public policy, governments carve out a role for themselves in effect to overcome what are perceived as widespread market failures. Examples abound across the world of governments intervening to correct negative externalities where there is a wedge between public purpose and private interest, and the outcomes are bad, particularly for poor people with the least means to cope with poor service delivery. In India, governments often turn to command and control approaches to solving serious problems of public policy, for example air quality, essentially because of a deep distrust of more market-based approaches. Governments routinely intervene in pricing, usually on the grounds of helping the poor.

But in doing so, governments often themselves fall prey to government failure, because they do not have the capacity to implement, or they get captured, or they create vested interests (“the only thing worse than a private monopoly is a public monopoly”) and corruption, or a subsidy in one part of the economy does widespread and worse damage in another part of the economy. Delhi’s air quality is a constant reminder of what happens when government failure meets market failure. And yet, governments are essential to any well-functioning economy that both provides opportunity and protects the vulnerable. What to do in the face of both market and government failures to make services work for poor people?

2 March 2017: Does Devolution to Local Governments Improve Health Outcomes in Rural India?

Hari K. Nagarajan
Institute of Rural Management, Anand

Abstract:
Please join us for a conversation with Professor Hari K. Nagarajan, RBI Chair Professor at IRMA, about the findings of his joint work with Hans P. Binswanger-Mkhize and Anirudh Tagat on whether democratisation and devolution of responsibilities to local governments in India improves access to health care, health status, and individual health incomes.

Using nationally representative household panel data for rural India from NCAER’s Rural Economic and Demographic Surveys (more popularly known as REDS), the authors explore the welfare effects of the choice of health service provider. They find that the deepening of democracy through participation in local decision-making and improved grievance redressal related to public goods influences the choice of health care provider. Given a level of illness, they find that such choice, in turn, leads to increases in contribution to household incomes that vary by gender. Their work importantly implies that it is not only the supply of services and mechanisms of access that are important, but what also matters is the extent to which members of households are able to participate in the management and governance of these services. This work continues earlier work based on the REDS data, the only national panel data for rural India, by Nagarajan, Binswanger and Meenakshisundaram in their book, Decentralization and Empowerment for Rural Development, published by NCAER and Cambridge University Press in 2015.

4 March 2016: More Weak Links in the Chain: Problems in Indian health policy and its analysis

Jeffrey S. Hammer
Princeton University

Abstract:
Hammer will examine Indian health policy from the lens of public economics. He will show how the major market failures characteristic of the health sector continue to remain unaddressed in India, while much attention is paid—both rhetorically and through budgets allocations–on a universal primary care system that has not been working well. Recent data on the performance of the public and private sectors in primary curative care will be presented to show why and how they illustrate a legitimate cause for alarm.

30 June 2014: Innovations in Data Collection: The Chitwan Valley Family Study in Nepal

Dirgha Ghimire
University of Michigan and ISER-Nepal

Abstract:
The Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) is an 18-year old, multi-level, panel study of communities, households, and individuals based on multi-mode, mixed-methods data collection built around cutting-edge, computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) and mobile phone technologies. CVFS serves as a unique laboratory based at ISER-N for interdisciplinary social and economic research in the heterogeneous, high-mobility setting of the Chitwan Valley in Nepal’s Inner Terai region. CVFS investigates the impact of this rapidly changing context on family formation using a combination of ethnographic, archival, geo-spatial, and survey methods. CVFS tracks domestic and international migrants and provides continuous measurement of community change going back seven decades and backed by 17 years of monthly demographic event data. CVFS data are available through ICPSR, the Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research at Michigan, www.icpsr.umich.edu.

Dr Ghimire will discuss CVFS design and its evolution, including tracking respondents over time and space and the use of innovative life history calendars for data collection using multi-level retrospective histories and measurements between panels. He will describe how CAPI makes it possible to collect high-quality panel data in less-than ideal field conditions but with active, real-time survey management at ISER-N and Michigan.

As panel studies around the world have shown, understanding the consequences of rapid social, economic, and environmental change for policy design, implementation and monitoring has become critical in all settings. Dr Ghimire will explore how the innovative design and execution of CVFS can be useful for similar cultural settings, such as in India.

2 June 2014: Inflation Volatility: How Much More Costly is it for Developing Countries?

Shesadri Banerjee
NCAER

Abstract:
Scholars and policymakers have unanimously recognized the adverse economic and welfare consequences of inflation. However, relatively less attention is given to inflation volatility and its consequences. Inflation episodes are often more volatile (i.e. inflation fluctuates a lot) in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) as compared to advanced countries. This stylized fact raises the question of how costly is it for the EMDEs, such as India, when they suffer such greater volatility of inflation. This paper evaluates the welfare consequence of high inflation volatility by measuring the resulting loss of output. It shows that developing countries incur far greater loss of GDP—nearly twice—than advanced countries as a result of the high volatility of inflation. This finding re-emphasizes the importance of inflation targeting in the monetary policy frameworks of EMDEs, not dissimilar to the recent approach adopted by the Reserve Bank of India.

23 May 2014: Why So Few Women in Politics? Evidence from India

Mudit Kapoor
Indian School of Business, Hyderabad

Abstract:
Women remain severely under-represented in political institutions across the world. The International Political Science Association reports that as of January 2013 women representatives accounted for just over 20 percent of all parliamentarians in the world. Set against the just-completed largest election in the world in India, it is useful to ask why are there so few female representatives in political positions relative to their share in the population and electoral rolls? The gap between men and women has narrowed least in political representation when compared to the gaps in education, legal rights and economic opportunities. Despite the magnitude of the problem, there is little definitive understanding of the factors that might be causing this. Mudit Kapoor will discuss a recent study for India, done jointly with Shamika Ravi, on women as political candidates in a representative democracy. The study analyzes data from 50 years of assembly elections at the constituency level from the states of India.

7 April 2014: Is Outward FDI from Developing Countries a 'Good Thing'? Policy Implications for Home Countries

Rajneesh Narula
University of Reading, UK

Abstract:
A number of developing countries – such as India – have seen a growth in outward FDI by domestic multinational enterprises over the last two decades. A number of home countries (both developing and developed) have sought to encourage and promote such activity, arguing that such firms reflect their competitiveness and shifting comparative advantage. Other countries have reacted with alarm at outward FDI activity, feeling that it represents a ‘hollowing out’ of domestic assets, signalling a decline in their competitiveness. Professor Narula contends that both can be true simultaneously, especially in those countries that have a ‘‘Lewisian’’ dual economy, such as India. There are costs and benefits associated with outward FDI. Professor Narula argues that there is a greater likelihood that such investments will prove to be capital flight rather than opportunities for domestic upgrading, when generic approaches are applied.

2 April 2014: Building State Capacity for Better Program Implementation: Evidence from Biometric Smartcards in India

Karthik Muralidharan
University of California, San Diego

Abstract:
In this lecture organised by NCAER, Karthik Muralidharan will present results from a path-breaking three-year study, done jointly with Paul Niehaus (UCSD) and Sandip Sukhtankar (Dartmouth), on the impact of using biometrically-authenticated Smartcards to make payments to NREGS and Pension beneficiaries in Andhra Pradesh. Mr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission will be the Chief Guest at the lecture and lead the discussion.

Social protection programs in India are often plagued with leakage and corruption, and beneficiaries often face several challenges in accessing payments. One of the most promising attempts to increase state capacity to effectively implement programs is India’s ambitious initiative to provide all residents with a biometrically-authenticated Aadhar number linked to bank accounts, which can be used to directly transfer benefits. While this is a promising initiative, skeptics have raised several concerns including implementation challenges, subversion by vested interests, exclusion errors, and cost effectiveness.

The Andhra Pradesh Smartcard Program used biometrically-authenticated Smartcards to make payments under NREGS and Social Security Pensions and was a functional pre-cursor to the integration of Aadhar with these programs. Prof. Muralidharan will present results from a large-scale, scientifically rigorous, randomized impact evaluation of the AP Smartcard program on beneficiary experiences and leakage. The study finds that the new technology delivered a faster, more predictable, and less corrupt payments process that was also highly cost-effective (in spite of several implementation challenges). The results suggest that investing in secure authentication and payment infrastructure can significantly enhance “state capacity” to effectively implement a broad range of programs.

26 February 2014: Disentangling India’s Investment Slowdown

Rahul Anand & Volodymyr Tulin
International Monetary Fund

Abstract:
Anand and Tulin will report on their recent research on the investment slowdown in India and explore its underlying causes. India’s sharp deceleration in investment has sparked a debate about the role of interest rates, business confidence and economic policy uncertainty. Their research suggests that while real interest rates do explain aggregate investment activity better than nominal interest rates, they nonetheless account for only a quarter of the explained investment downturn. Other, standard macro-financial variables also do not fully explain the recent investment slump. Using a new measure of economic policy uncertainty, their results suggest that heightened uncertainty and deteriorating business confidence have played an important role in the recent investment slowdown.

30 January 2014: Universal Pensions in the US: Economic Security, Fiscal Challenges and Possible Lessons for India

Kenneth S. Apfel
University of Maryland & NCAER

Abstract:
Over the course of the past 75 years, the United States instituted a well-developed multi-tiered retirement security system. The anchor of the US system is Social Security – a program that provides universal lifetime benefits to nearly all older Americans. All of the tiers of the US retirement system are currently facing serious challenges.

Will the US system be in a position to continue to provide basic income adequacy for older persons? Is the US retirement system affordable in the 21st Century? And are there lessons that can be learned from the US experience, as India develops its own pension policies for the 21st Century? In his presentation, Professor Apfel will:

1)Examine the extent that demographic and economic changes have placed pressures on Social Security benefit programs, private pensions and individual retirement savings,
2)Make recommendations for future US policy changes and
3)Identify the key issues that need to be addressed by any effective national retirement system.

17 December 2013: Diet quality, child health and food policies in developing countries

Alok Bhargava
School of Public Policy, University of Maryland  

Abstract:
While the importance of diet quality for improving child health is widely recognized, the roles of environmental factors and absorption of nutrients for children’s physical growth and morbidity have not been adequately integrated into a policy framework. Moreover, nutrient intakes gradually affect child health so that it is helpful to use alternative tools for evaluation of short-term interventions versus long-term food policies. This article emphasizes the role of diet quality reflected in the intakes of nutrients such as protein, calcium, and iron for children’s physical growth; vitamins A and C are important for reducing morbidity that can hamper growth. Children’s growth and morbidity affect their cognitive development that is critical for future supply of skilled labor and for economic growth. Evidence on these issues from countries such as Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Philippines and Tanzania is discussed. The supply of nutritious and animal foods is appraised from the viewpoint of improving diet quality. It is suggested that Pigouvian type taxes on unhealthy processed foods consumed by the affluent in developing countries can raise revenues for subsidizing livestock production for improving diets of the poor.

7 November 2013: Computerized Data Collection and the Management of Survey Costs and Quality: The Use of Paradata

James Wagner and Nicole Kirgis
University of Michigan  

Abstract:
Computer assisted interviewing has allowed far greater control over the costs and quality of survey data collection. Such data collection automatically generates paradata about the collection process itself. This can be extremely useful for survey managers to control survey efficiency and costs. Field interviewers, using laptop computers or other devices, transmit raw survey data (including paradata) to the central office daily. This allows managers to monitor production inputs (e.g. interviewer hours, travel expenses) and production efficiency (e.g. hours per interview, attempts per hour). Similarly, questionnaire timing paradata, for example, can be used to identify instances where questions are completed in an extremely short period of time. Managers can intervene at various levels when interviewers display patterns of lower than expected efficiency and quality. Pilot paradata can also be extremely useful in the design of questionnaires and field operations.

8 October 2013: Private vs. Government: New Evidence on School Performance and Implications for India’s Right to Education Act

Karthik Muralidharan
University of California, San Diego, NCAER, NBER and J-PAL  

Abstract:
Karthik will present results from the Andhra Pradesh School Choice Project—one of the most comprehensive research studies conducted on school choice and private schooling globally. Over five years the project provided lottery-based scholarships to economically-disadvantaged students to attend a private school of their choice. The project has yielded rich data on schools, teachers, households, and student performance in private and government schools. Karthik will discuss what these findings mean for the private school Clause 12 of the Right to Education Act that mandates a 25% quota in private schools for economically disadvantaged students.

Among the questions the study seeks to answer:
1) How do private and government schools systematically differ in household inputs, school facilities, teacher characteristics, teacher effort, instructional priorities, and time allocation at home and school?
2) Holding all other factors constant (including family socio-economic characteristics and pre-school and other factors that typically differ between students attending government and private schools), are private schools more or less effective than government schools?
3) How might the intake of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds into private schools under Clause 12 affect students already in these private schools? What will be the spillover effects?
4) How does the impact of attending a private school differ based on a student’s socio-economic background, school characteristics such as the medium of instruction, and market characteristics such as the number of schools and the amount of effective school choice and competition?
5) What are the implications of these findings for implementing Clause 12? How should students be allocated to fill the 25% quota? How should private schools be regulated?

7 August 2013: What is public about public health? Evidence from three Indian sanitation studies

Jeffrey S. Hammer
NCAER and Princeton University

Abstract:
Why is good quality health care so hard to deliver? That environmental conditions are major determinants of health is fairly well established worldwide. This seminar will present the results of three research projects that make the case for treating sanitation as an extremely high priority for Indian policymakers if they wish to attain their stated goal of better health for the Indian rural and urban public. The research to be presented will include:

1) an interstate comparison of sanitation and curative care;
2) a randomized control trial of the Total Sanitation Campaign in rural Maharashtra; and
3) preliminary results of a study of urban infrastructure and health in Delhi’s slums
