SUMMARY:Expert Talk on Gender in Development Discourse at SRM University - AP
DESCRIPTION:Department of Economics recently organised an expert talk on Gender in Development Discourse by renowned expert Dr Sangita Dutta. The event was a great success\, with students and faculty members engaging in a stimulating discussion on the role of gender in international development. \nDr Dutta shared her valuable insights and research findings on how gender dynamics impact development outcomes. She highlighted the importance of addressing gender inequalities and promoting gender equality in all aspects of development work. \nThe event served as a platform for students to broaden their understanding of gender issues and learn from an esteemed expert in the field. We are grateful to Dr. Sangita Dutta for her enlightening talk and look forward to more such enriching events at SRM University-AP. \nAbstract: \nDevelopment discourse has undergone significant changes in recent years\, and there is a need to contextualise gender in development discourse. Gender is no longer an equity concern. It is important for the three pillars of development governance- equity\, efficiency and sustainability. There has been a shift from growth paradigm to the holistic sustainability approaches. UN Sustainable Development Goals are the cornerstones of global development governance and Gender Equality (SDG5) is one of the goals to be achieved by 2030. The concept of Women in Development or WID emerged in the early 1970s. The rationale behind the concept was that women can contribute productively to the economic development of any country. The main objective was to show the synergy between involving women and economic growth. One of the important issues was equal employment opportunities for women. The concept of Gender in Development or GID developed in the 1980s which was a holistic approach. Gender mainstreaming as a strategic approach to gender equality gained attention after the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action in 1995. Gender mainstreaming mandates integration of gender perspectives in all policy formulations\, programs\, and projects. In this context\, Dr Dutta Gupta will discuss some of her research papers in gender and their role in development discourse.

SUMMARY:Seminar by Distinguished Academician Prof. Rathinasamy Maria Saleth
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Economics is inviting Distinguished Visiting Professor\, Prof. Rathinasamy Maria Saleth for two esteemed seminars on novel topics of social relevance. Prof. Saleth will talk on “Climate Change\, Water\, and Adaptation” on November 29\, 2023\, and “Social Science Research: Theories\, Models\, and Empirical Analysis” on November 30\, 2023. \nJoin the sessions and gain insights from the seasoned academician! \nAbout the Speaker \nProf. Rathinasamy Maria Saleth is currently a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Department of Economics\, Easwari School of Liberal Arts\, SRM University-AP. He is regularly affiliated as an Honorary Professor at the Madras School of Economics\, Chennai. \nProf. Saleth received his MA from Madurai Kamaraj University\, Madurai (1979)\, MPhil from Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi (1981)\, and PhD from University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign\, USA (1989). He works in the areas of water resource management\, institutional change\, development policy\, and impact assessment and has published three books\, six edited volumes\, and over 100 research papers in journals and edited volumes related to these areas. \nProf. Saleth has also won awards for some of his papers\, books\, and works from professional organisations such as the Indian Society of Agricultural Economics\, the American Water Resources Association\, the International Water Association\, and the University of South Australia. He has also been a consultant to the World Bank\, Food and Agriculture Organisation\, Asian Development Bank\, UN Economic and Social Council for the Asia and the Pacific\, and UN Environment Programme. \nTalk 1: Climate Change\, Water\, and Adaptation \nAbstract: This presentation covers the nature and magnitude of the impacts of climate change on water resources and possible coping and adaptation options both from global and national perspectives. The presentation starts with a discussion on the leading causes of climate change\, especially the cumulative effects of global warming caused by greenhouse gases and related environmental consequences from human-induced economic activities and ecological disturbances. It\, then\, shows how the impacts of climate change are manifested both at the global and national scale in terms of the spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation and water availability and the resultant implications for water\, agriculture\, and economy. Although climate change is caused essentially by non-hydrological factors\, the water sector continues to be the main medium through which most of its impacts are transmitted to the agricultural sector in particular and other economic sectors in general. As such\, it is but natural for the adaptation/coping strategies also to be designed at the point of the impacted sectors\, though\, admittedly\, general mitigation strategies go far beyond these sectors. The presentation\, finally\, concludes by delineating feasible adaptation strategies for the water sector\, which include not just demand management options but also supply management avenues\, especially those involving institutional changes and infrastructural developments. \nTalk 2: Social Science Research: Theories\, Models\, and Empirical Analysis \nAbstract: This presentation covers the theoretical\, methodological\, and empirical aspects of social science research\, especially from the perspective of young research scholars. It starts with a discussion on the nature\, rationale\, features\, and types of building blocks of social science theories. After an analytical description of three broad types of models\, i.e.\, simple\, interactive\, and path-based models\, the presentation provides concrete illustrations\, particularly for the interactive and path-based models using a few empirical case studies. These illustrative case studies will show how to conceptualize\, operationalize\, and empirically evaluate the research problems in different contexts. The presentation\, finally\, concludes with the discussion on some of the additional methodological\, practical\, and data-related aspects of importance in social science research.

SUMMARY:Subjective Information in Social Science Research: Rationale and Legitimacy
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Economics is organising a special lecture on Subjective Information in Social Science Research: Rationale and Legitimacy on May 12\, 2023\, from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM. Prof. Rathinasamy Maria Saleth\, a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Department of Economics\, will deliver the talk. \nAbstract of the talk \nStarting with a brief discussion on different kinds of data or information sources commonly used in social science research\, the presentation then outlines the theoretical logic and practical reasoning for considering “perception” as a legitimate data source for generative valuable subjective or qualitative information. In this respect\, the presentation explains how individuals normally use “adaptive instrumental evaluation” as a tool to organise and synthesise various forms of perceived and observed information and perform a process of ‘mental accounting’ or ‘silent calculation’ so as to derive feasible alternative options or decisions. Such options or decisions are often ranked by checking them against individually derived but generally converging “reference frames”. After providing a few instances where subjective or qualitative information can be the main\, if not the only\, data source for empirical evaluation\, the presentation concludes with a quick review of major methods and survey techniques available for eliciting subjective information. \nAbout the Speaker \nProf. Rathinasamy Maria Saleth is affiliated as an Honorary Professor at the Madras School of Economics\, Chennai. Prior to this\, he has been Director of the Loyola Institute of Business Administration\, Chennai (2014-15) and the Director of the Madras Institute of Development Studies\, Chennai (2009-14). Earlier\, Prof. Saleth has been a Principal Researcher with the International Water Management Institute (IWMI)\, Colombo\, Sri Lanka (2002-2008); Adjunct Professor at South Australian University\, Adelaide\, Australia (2003-06); Professor of Ecological Economics at the Institute for Social and Economic Change\, Bengaluru (2000-2002); Visiting Researcher\, World Bank\, Washington DC (1998); and Professor of Economics at the Institute for Economic Growth\, Delhi (1992-2000). He received his MA from Madurai Kamaraj University\, Madurai (1979)\, MPhil from Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi (1981)\, and PhD from the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign\, USA (1989). Prof Saleth works in the areas of resource management\, institutional change\, development policy\, and impact assessment and has published three books\, six edited volumes\, and over 100 research papers in journals and edited volumes related to these areas.

SUMMARY:Tax Policies and Inconsistencies: Complexity of the GST Act
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Economics is organising a special lecture by Prof. R Srinivas on December 23\, 2022. The lecture on “Evolving Design of Goods and Services Tax” will highlight the inconsistent buoyancy of the GST tax implemented in India. The Goods and Services Tax was introduced as a harmonised tax system for the taxation of commodities in India in June 2017\, covering more than 60% of the commodity transactions in the country. Union and state governments have been concurrently levying this tax and administering it. There are no differences in tax rates\, tax bases and administration processes across India. Prof. Srinivas will elucidate why the adopted tax system remains complex and yet to be wholly efficient. \nAbstract \nThe effort to harmonise commodity taxation in India started in 1993 at a conference of state finance ministers resolving to move towards a non-distorting Value Added Tax (VAT) system in India. The earlier arrangement of the levy of Excise Duty on production by the Union government and the levy of sales tax on transactions by the state governments created a complex\, economically distorting and non-buoyant tax system. With the adoption of VAT\, the existing problem was thought to be resolved. \nThough all the states adopted VAT in 2006\, the distorting tax system prevailed with differences in tax rates\, tax bases and the continuance of old sales tax on inter-state tax. The Union and state governments formed an empowered committee on commodity taxation in the late 1990s\, and since then negotiations went on to culminate in the implementation of GST in June 2017. \nThough the GST is supposed to be buoyant\, it is not consistently buoyant to be considered a reliable source of revenue. The two major commodities\, petroleum products and liquor are outside the GST. This continues to distort the commodity tax system. The creation of the GST council to resolve conflicts between states and between union and state governments on issues relating to GST is also seen as another source of political friction by the states who have given up a substantial portion of their tax powers. In terms of tax administration\, smaller firms face unsurmountable difficulties in adhering to the regulations of the GST act in terms of filing tax returns and getting refunds of tax credits. \nTherefore\, with several conflicts remaining unresolved the GST as a system of commodity taxation is still evolving and has yet to reach a level of maturity and stability. \nAbout the speaker \nProf. R Srinivasan is a Professor of Economics at the University of Madras and is currently a permanent member of the State Planning Commission of Tamil Nadu. Previously\, he was the Head of the Department of Econometrics at the University of Madras. He has a distinguished academic career and is a proven outstanding teacher and researcher of Economics. He has been conferred with an MA and PhD from the Department of Economics at the University of Madras. Prof Srinivasan also served as the Registrar of the University of Madras. \nProf R Srinivasan has a keen interest and research focus in Public Finance and Tamil Nadu Economy. He has exclusively written articles in Journals and Print media in English and Tamil and has publications in national and internationally acclaimed journals. He is also a member of various committees and boards. \nJoin the lecture to witness a dissection of the economic anatomy of India!

SUMMARY:Oxford Professor elucidates on the secession with natural resources
DESCRIPTION:The second episode of the lecture series organised by the Department of Economics\, SRM University-AP\, will be held on September 07\, 2021\, at 04.00 pm. The lecture titled “Secession with natural resources” will be delivered by Prof Pramila Krishnan from the Oxford Department of International Development. \nAbstract:\nThe lecture will look at the formation of new Indian states in 2001 to uncover the effects of political secession on the comparative economic performance of natural resource-rich and natural resource-poor areas. Resource-rich constituencies fared comparatively worse within new states that inherited a relatively larger proportion of natural resources. The study argues that these patterns reflect how political reorganization affected the quality of state governance of natural resources. Results describe a model of collusion between state politicians and resource rent recipients that can account for the relationships we see in the data between natural resource abundance and post-break-up local outcomes. \nAbout the Speaker:\nPramila Krishnan is a Professor of Development Economics at Oxford Department of International Development\, University of Oxford and a Fellow at Pembroke College\, Oxford. She began her academic life as an econometrician working on models of self-selection before seeing the light and moving on to work in development economics.\nHer research has concentrated on applied microeconomics and she has worked on topics ranging from household portfolios of poor households to risk-sharing\, intra-household allocation and informal insurance\, social networks\, non-cognitive skills and whether migrants might be both rich and happy. Pramila Krishnan teaches on the MSc in Economics for Development\, offering a module on education. \nJoin this intriguing online lecture on September 07\, 2021\, at 04.00 pm and enrich your knowledge through the scholarly voice of Prof Pramila Krishnan!

SUMMARY:International Conclave on the Role of Technology for the Sustainable Agricultural Growth for Future Generations
DESCRIPTION:An International Conclave on the “Transition towards sustainability of Agriculture: Role of Technology in Agriculture Supply Chain” is being organised by the Department of Economics\, School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences\, SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh on June 3-4 from 9 am. Renowned economists and experts across the world will be joining the conclave to share their thoughts and perspectives on the much-needed topic of this time. Faculty and Scholars are invited to submit the abstracts of their research papers on or before May 25\, 2021. Prof Vijay Paul Sharma\, Chairman\, Commission for Agriculture Costs and Price (CACP) Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer Welfare\, Govt of India\, will grace the conclave with his presence as the Chief Guest. \nThe agriculture and food sectors are facing multiple challenges. With the global population projected to grow from 7.6 billion in 2018 (UN DESA\, 2019) to over 9.6 billion in 2050\, there will be a significant increase in the demand for food (UN DESA\, 2017). At the same time\, the availability of natural resources such as fresh water and productive arable land is becoming increasingly constrained. Production is not the only concern; although agricultural output is currently enough to feed the world\, 821 million people still suffer from hunger (FAO\, 2018). Processes such as the rapid rate of urbanisation also have important implications for food production patterns and consumption. The agri-food sector remains critical for livelihoods and employment. There are more than 570 million smallholder farms worldwide (Lowder et al.\, 2016)\, and agriculture and food productions account for 28% of the entire global workforce (ILOSTAT\, 2019). \nAchieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal of a ‘world with zero hunger’ by 2030 will require more productive\, efficient\, sustainable\, inclusive\, transparent and resilient food systems. This will require an urgent transformation of the current agri-food system. Digital innovations and technologies may be part of the solution. The so-called ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ (Industry 4.0) observes several sectors to be transformed rapidly by ‘disruptive’ digital technologies such as Blockchain\, Internet of Things\, Artificial Intelligence and Immersed Reality. In the agriculture and food sectors\, the spread of mobile technologies\, remote-sensing services and distributed computing are already improving smallholders’ access to information\, inputs\, market\, finance and training. Digital technologies are creating new opportunities to integrate smallholders into a digitally-driven agri-food system. In this two-day Internation Conclave\, reputed experts will shed some light by sharing their wisdom with others on the recent challenges and the scope associated with it. Needless to say\, food will always be an integral part of the basic need of humans. In these discussions\, the path towards ensuring enough food supply for future generations will be searched. \nThe Department of Economics\, under the School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences at SRM University-AP\, is a vibrant unit for teaching fundamental courses (core & electives) in Economics along with allied courses for students across the disciplines. In addition to the Foundation Courses and optional Minors across the departments\, the department ensures that the education imparted is truly multidisciplinary with an excellent programme structure that can cater to the growing market demand for professional economists and policy researchers. At Present\, the department offers B.Sc. (Hons.) and PhD in Economics and will soon offer a postgraduate programme with specialisations in Econometrics\, Finance\, Trade and Development in coming years. \nCall for Papers:\nFaculty and Scholars are invited to submit the abstracts to be presented at the conclave “Transition towards sustainability of Agriculture: Role of Technology in Agriculture Supply Chain” on or before May 25\, 2021. The abstract must go through the review\, and if accepted by the reviewers\, the abstract acceptance notification will be sent. There is no registration fee to participate in the conclave. The event will take place entirely in virtual mode. Please submit the abstracts to ghanshyamkumar.p@srmap.edu.in on or before May 25\, 2021.
