    Is the economy back on track?

    The Hindu -
    👍 YES Jagdish Shettigar 👉 Disturbances on account of demonetisation and GST were purely short term Looking at various indicators such as an increasing trend in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and GDP growth rates, there is a clear signal that the economy is back on track. Disturbances on account of demonetisation and the goods and services tax (GST) were purely short term, and short-term disturbances were only to be expected. Employment-generating sectors like construction, the worst hit by demonetisation, have already started reviving — demand is picking up because of falling prices and this is obviously due to minimum exposure to black money. There are indications that the government is realising the need to move towards the ideal GST by addressing the glitches experienced at present. Moreover, with the revival of India's major markets such as the U.S., Eurozone and Japan since September 2017, exports have started picking up, accounting for about 15% of the G...

    Disadvantage for the incumbent or not?

    The Hindu -
    👉There is no correlation between voter turnout and incumbency👈 Conventional wisdom has always been that a higher voter turnout corresponds with a greater anti-incumbency effect in India. One of the many reasons noted in the loss of the UPA in the 2014 elections was the presence of a higher voter turnout in comparison to 2009. But in the last decade and a half, more incumbent governments have been re-elected even as voter turnout has risen. Is there any correlation between voter turnout and incumbency? In the U.S., there is a clear negative association between incumbency and turnout. One explanation for this is the competition effect — greater the competition in a bipolar election, higher the participation, which will include more dissatisfied voters. While the hypothesis of high partisanship in a bipolar political party system holds true for the U.S., it does not for India. Milan Vaishnav and Johnathan Guy in a paper titled ‘Does Higher Turnout Hurt Incumbents?’, publishe...

    💥We need to adequately plan for internal migration due to climate change At the height of the Syrian and Rohingya crises, much of the world’s attention turned to forced displacement and refugees. Both exemplified the typical conditions under which people are forcibly displaced: war, political persecution, economic instability and repression. Still, most of the world’s migration is internal, i.e. within the same country. Among the tens of millions displaced in 2015, 21.3 million were refugees, but 40.8 million were internally displaced. People usually change their homes to improve household income, for marriage or other purposes relating to family. With climate change, however, its worsening slow onset effects such as droughts, effects from sea level rise and water shortages will cause many more to leave their homes and move to safer places. Such migration may be a choice in the initial stages; for instance, a young member may travel to a city close by during a drought to...
