Even more challenging is the grasping of empirical knowledge in the identification of appropriate technique, nature and quality of data and drawing meaningful inferences. In the ever increasing horizon of new techniques, knowledge of efficient and consistent methods of estimation of causal economic relationship is a great learning process for a researcher that comes with practical experience only. The papers in this volume attempt to unravel the issues involved in the applications of econometric methods. With strong economic theories, varied datasets and powerful econometric methods, this book analyses the underlying data issues, identification of estimation methods, empirical analyses and draws inferences for many economic problems. The econometric methods that comprise this book are time series, qualitative response variable, and panel data methods. This volume demonstrates the comprehensive nature of econometric applications that are at the heart of any empirical study and highlight the appropriateness of quantitative analysis for inferences from data valued for policy making.

Understanding human behaviour eludes scientific inquiries despite significant advances and great breakthroughs. Evenmore challenging is the quantitative analysis of human decisions for which econometric methods are widely applied. Econometrics analysis is the art of understanding the nuances of information contained in data and drawing meaningful inferences from the statistical techniques based on mathematical tools. Understanding the nature of data and identifying appropriate techniques for efficient and consistent estimates of the causal relationship is a great learning of a researcher that comes with practical experience only. The papers in this volume attempt to unravel the econometric issues of many economic problems. Using strong economic theories, rich data and powerful econometric methods, this book analyses the underlying data issues, identification of estimation methods, empirical analyses and draws inferences for many of the individual and household behaviours as well as state, national and international macroeconomic issues. The econometric methods that comprise this book are simultaneous equations methods, time series models, qualitative response dependent variable models and panel data methods. This volume demonstrates the comprehensive nature of econometric approaches that is at the heart of any empirical study and highlight the appropriateness of quantitative analysis for inferences from data, decision making and drawing policy implications. The book is intended to be a reference guide for.

This book analyses the economics of household behaviour with respect to non-market activities and the household decision making processes. The household engages itself in many non-market activities, apart from the income earning market activities. These non-market activities involve many inter- and intra-household relationships among the family members and with the society. The household relations are seen as a deliberate strategy designed by the household itself either for survival or for smoothing income flows and consumption streams in the face of risks and threats to normal income generating resources. Many non-market activities of the household like having more number of children, marital relations, migration and remittances, education of children and innovating agricultural production are some of the diversification assets in the household income portfolio for spreading risks. This diversification strategy insures against the risks to income flows and consumption streams, minimises the vulnerability to covariate risks and prevents the complete collapse of the family. Highlighting the significant contribution of education to economic growth and development, this book also discusses the issues in financing of education, the costs and pricing of education, the measurement of academic learning by students, choice and participation of women in education, educational infrastructure and the willingness to pay for education. It is observed that the mechanisms of subsidising education is a tricky issue, the finances for education are becoming inadequate and the households are willing to pay more for education as education confers substantial private and social returns to the investments.The book is intended to be a reference material for the study on the decision making and behaviour of the household with respect to non-market activities that are economically productive.

This book quantitatively analyses the puzzle between money and happiness in India both at individual and aggregate levels and at cross-section, time series and panel levels. The relevance of the Easterlin Paradox, a positive income-happiness relationship at a point in time but a lack association between income and life satisfaction at the aggregate level and over time, and hence economic growth does not improve the human lot, is evaluated. Using data for a long period of 24 years over 1990 to 2014 from the World Values Surveys, the cross-country analysis of the happiness literature is replicated with cross-states analysis, applying robust econometric techniques. The effects of individual absolute income, variously defined relative income measures, NSDP per capita, social comparison, social capital and income inequality on individual, average and aggregate happiness and life satisfaction levels across states and over time are examined. The rigorous econometric results validate the Easterlin Paradox in India in that there is no long-run happiness gain from the income growth and the income effects are not the same for all as the middle-income groups do not gain in happiness from the rising average income. Whatever short-run gain in happiness is erased in the long-run partially by the declining social capital and rising income inequality.

Econometrics some basic developments. References. This book is analyses the economics of human decisions with respect to both the market activities and the non-market behaviour. The household decision making approach has been followed to understand many economic and non-economic decisions of individuals who are members of a family. Using strong economic theories, rich data and powerful microeconometric methods, this book demonstrates the household decision making processes with respect to demand for children, labour market behaviour, discrimination, education, empowerment, bargaining, efficiency, risk and vulnerability and other non-market activities. It has been shown in this book that the household decisions are rational and have strong cost-benefit calculations and are based on utility gains. The theoretical and empirical results presented in this book demonstrate that the economic approach is a comprehensive one that is applicable to all human behaviour, be it behaviour involving money or emotions, rational or irrational, political or sociological, market or non-market, single or multiple decisions and by single or multiple decision makers. Some macroeconomic issues on banking efficiency and public debt management are also analysed. The book also demonstrates the applicability of many applied microeconometric methods for the quantitative analysis of human decisions. The book is intended to be a reference material for the quantitative analysis of the human decision making process. (jacket).
