Structural transformation path across Indian states: Findings from panel data analyses

Globalisation and Cointegration among the States and Convergence across the Continents: A Panel Data Analysis

This paper attempts to examine the level of cointegration among various nations across continents with respect to their globalisation. An approach is also made to analyse the nature of interand intra-continental globalisation and its variation over time. The proximity and convergence over time, in terms of the growth of globalisation is examined by using a panel data set over a period from 1970...

Poverty, Heterogeneous Elite, and Allocation of Public Spending: Panel Evidence from the Indian States

In this paper, we explore how in the world’s largest democracy, India, the presence of different elite groups – the dominant landed and capitalist elite and the minority elite (who are the elected representatives of the marginalised women and low caste population) – could affect the nature and extent of public spending on various accounts, especially education. We argue that the productive coop...

Spatial panel data models with structural change

Spatial panel data models are widely used in empirical studies. The existing theories of spatial models so far have largely confine the analysis under the assumption of parameters stabilities. This is unduely restrictive, since a large number of studies have well documented the presence of structural changes in the relationship of economic variables. This paper proposes and studies spatial pane...

Energetic Path Finding across Massive Terrain Data

Throughout history, the primary means of transportation for humans has been on foot. We present a software tool which can help vi­ sualize and predict where historical trails might lie through the use of a human-centered cost metric, with an emphasis on the ability to gen­ erate paths which traverse several thousand kilometers. To accomplish this, various graph simplification and path approxima...
