Convergence Across Castes

چکیده
India has witnessed a remarkable catch-up by the historically disadvantaged scheduled castes and tribes (SC/STs) towards non-SC/ST levels in their education attainment levels, occupation choices as well wages during period 1983-2012. Using heterogenous agent, multi-sector model we show that sectoral productivity growth this can explain 75 percent of observed wage convergence between castes. Inter-sectoral net flows workers are key they account for 3/4 predicted convergence. Absent these flows, caste gaps would have marginally widened. Selection effects, while present just quarter We also find affirmative action policies reduced skilling costs SC/STs may at all times but played limited role accounting dynamics gap. Growth was dynamic

Convergence across States and Regions
AN IMPORTANT economic question is whether poor countries or regions tend to converge toward rich ones. We want to know, for example, whether the poor countries of Africa, South Asia, and Latin America will grow faster than the developed countries, whether the south of Italy will become like its north, whether and how fast the eastern regions of Germany will attain the prosperity of the western ...
متن کاملGenome methylation patterns across castes and generations in a parasitoid wasp
Environmental influences shape phenotypes within and across generations, often through DNA methylations that modify gene expression. Methylations were proposed to mediate caste and task allocation in some eusocial insects, but how an insect's environment affects DNA methylation in its offspring is yet unknown. We characterized parental effects on methylation profiles in the polyembryonic parasi...
متن کاملThe Convergence Coefficient across Political Systems
Formal work on the electoral model often suggests that parties or candidates should locate themselves at the electoral mean. Recent research has found no evidence of such convergence. In order to explain nonconvergence, the stochastic electoral model is extended by including estimates of electoral valence. We introduce the notion of a convergence coefficient, c. It has been shown that high valu...
متن کاملSecured Seamless Convergence across Heterogeneous Access Networks
Dual-mode handsets and multimode terminals are generating demand for solutions that enable convergence and seamless handover across heterogeneous access networks. The IEEE 802.21 working group is creating a framework that defines a Media Independent Handover Function (MIHF), facilitates the handover across heterogeneous access networks and help mobile users to experience a better performance du...
متن کاملMorphological castes in a vertebrate.
Morphological specialization for a specific role has, until now, been assumed to be restricted to social invertebrates. Herein we show that complete physical dimorphism has evolved between reproductives and helpers in the eusocial naked mole-rat. Dimorphism is a consequence of the lumbar vertebrae lengthening after the onset of reproduction in females. This is the only known example of morpholo...
