State-wise distribution of NMR in India. Geographical variations The NMR is not uniform across the country. Although Kerala and Tamil Nadu have low NMRs (o 20 per 1000 live births), Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have very high NMRs (35 or more per 1000 live births; Figure 3...
State-wise distribution of NMR in India. Full size image Wide disparities are also observed in survival rates across districts within states. It is evident that within a given state, NMR may be more than twice as high in the ‘worst’ districts as in the ‘best’ one.11 Rural–urban, po...
To explore perceptions of zakat in times of crisis, we consider three country case studies— Egypt, Pakistan, and Morocco—capturing over 15% the global Muslim population across three regions and representing contexts that have largely been unexplored by the emerging literature on zakat and social p...

There are 51(50)/2 = 1275 pairwise correlations for each EPU measure. When we fit (4) by least squares to the pairwise EPU−N correlations, we obtain β^1=0.001 [0.005] and β^2=0.006 [0.011].12 Similarly, fitting (4) to the pairwise EPU−S correlations also yields small ...
“China has an advanced civilization yet is 105th in the world in terms of GDP per capita and 81st on the human development index. I’m sure everybody would like to do better, including the Communist Party.” Where was China on the GDP per capita rankings 30 years ago when the economic...

(i.e., several of the country level economic indices are calculated using GDP). Collinear and replicated variables were excluded. Selection was based on analysis of spearman pairwise correlations and variance inflation factors47. The R package Corrgram v1.1048was used to calculate correlation ...
food price volatility is a common feature in the country and beneficiaries might worry about the erosion of purchasing power of the cash transfer.8 Critics of in-kind transfers argue that there is paternalistic note to continuing with the current system—a belief that poor can't make wise econo...
(e.g., Feldstein 2005): Generous early retirement options may discourage older workers from participating in training to maintain their employability, provide incentives for leaving employment before the statutory retirement age (Gruber and Wise 1999), and can also be expected to inf luence job ...
