This study tries to find out the determinants of the aggregate price and fit a parsimonious statistical model for aggregate price level in India. Two measures, namely, CPI and WPI are taken for aggregate price level. Several statistical models has been used including cointegration method. When regressions are performed with due care to non-stationarity, regression results are very poor. But this does not indicate that the variables are not related, but there is much stronger evidence on their relationship when cointegration techniques are used. This result is robust to both the measures of...

Cette étude tente de retracer les racines des crises monétaires en discutant de certains modèles sur les crises monétaires. Les premiers travaux, appelés modèles de première génération, ont été réalisés en réponse aux crises monétaires dans les pays en développement tels que le Mexique (1973-82) et l'Argentine (1978-81). Les modèles ultérieurs, appelés modèles de deuxième génération, sont conçus pour saisir les caractéristiques des attaques spéculatives en Europe et au Mexique dans les années 1980 et 1990. Dans ces modèles, les attaques spéculatives apparaissent...

This study attempts to track down the roots of the currency crises discussing some models on currency crises. The early works, called first-generation models, was in response to currency crises in developing countries such as Mexico (1973-82) and Argentina (1978-81). The later models, called second-generation models, are designed to capture features of the speculative attacks in the Europe and Mexico in the 1980s and 90s. In these models, speculative attacks appear in the form of self-fulfilling prophecy, since they may occur even when the level of forex reserves seems sufficient to make the...

In dieser Studie wird versucht, den Wurzeln der Währungskrisen auf die Spur zu kommen, indem einige Modelle zu Währungskrisen diskutiert werden. Die frühen Arbeiten, die so genannten Modelle der ersten Generation, waren eine Reaktion auf die Währungskrisen in Entwicklungsländern wie Mexiko (1973-82) und Argentinien (1978-81). Die späteren Modelle, die so genannten Modelle der zweiten Generation, wurden entwickelt, um die Merkmale der spekulativen Angriffe in Europa und Mexiko in den 1980er und 90er Jahren zu erfassen. In diesen Modellen treten spekulative Angriffe in Form einer sich...

It focuses on health of school children of Tamil Nadu. It assumes calorie intake as a proxy for health of a student. Here an attempt has been made to study separately for rural and urban students' up to the secondary school level. This study also tries to throw some light about the extent of effect of mid-day-meal scheme of schools with students' health. Overall, there is enough evidence of malnourishment of school children in Tamil Nadu in both rural and urban areas. The mid-day-meal scheme has little impact on health of school children.Second part of this study focuses on mid-day-meals...
