Caregivers of children with congenital heart diseases are easy victims of high economic burdens and economic instability. Objective The aim was to describe the household economic cost for a clinic visit, of primary caregivers having children with CHDs who are awaiting cardiac surgery attending a cardiology clinic at a major pediatric hospital in Sri Lanka. Methodology A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over three months among 427 samples of caregivers of children with congenital heart diseases at Cardiology clinic, Lady-Ridgeway Hospital Sri Lanka. A consecutive convenient sampling method was used to recruit the participant and economic cost was developed based on previous studies, surveys and opinions of an expert in economics. Results Out of caregivers, 75% were unemployed, and the median income was ₹30,000. The median direct cost per clinic visit was ₹1,800. A large proportion of direct cost was showed in traveling expenses. The median indirect cost was ₹1,000. Of the caregivers, 28.7% were falling into catastrophic expenditure during that particular month of the clinic visit. The mean waiting time per clinic visit was 53 minutes. Statistically significant association found distance with transport cost (Chi-square value = 25.14, df = 1, p & .001, OR = 3.4 (CI: 2.1–5.5). There was no statistically significant association between the income of the caregiver and expenditure (Chi-square value = 0, df = 1, p = .998, OR = 1 (CI: 0.678–1.473). Conclusions Assessment of economic burden and its associated factors is vital to recognize high-risk caregivers early, and improvement of monetary support methods.","PeriodicalId":39966,"journal":{"name":"South Asia Economic Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75739159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study advocates that when income inequality is low, increase in income inequality increases economic growth, whereas when income inequality is high, increase in income inequality decreases economic growth. The level of inequality that maximizes economic growth is defined as the optimum level of income inequality. This article attempts to determine the optimum level of income inequality for South Asia through an econometric analysis. It uses panel data from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, over a 34-year period to undertake a systematic investigation using panel instrumental variables techniques. The results of this study confirm that an optimum level of income inequality does exist, and occurs at a Gini coefficient value of 0.4492. Thus, this research empirically confirms that the relationship between income inequality and economic growth is non-linear. Further calculations show that for an economy that is at the optimum level of income inequality, the per capita gross domestic product can be expected to double within approximately 13 years, provided all other factors are held constant. However, a change in the Gini coefficient by 0.10 units in either direction—higher or lower—away from the optimum level, can increase the number of years for the per capita gross domestic product to double by 55 to 57 years, depending on the method of approximation.

Following the intermediation approach, the banking technology set includes three inputs, three desirable outputs and one undesirable output, namely NPAs. Due to their inherent technological heterogeneity, public sector banks (PSBs) and private banks (PVBs) have been analysed as separate groups. Balanced panels of 26 PSBs and 18 PVBs are constructed from 2010-2011 to 2016-2017. The results indicate a considerable scope of improvement in the productive performance of both categories of banks. The break-up of overall inefficiency into input- and output-specific components reveals some stimulating information. For PSBs, the inefficiencies primarily result due to physical capital, while for PVBs they emerge mainly from other incomes. However, NPAs are also a key contributor to inefficiency for both the categories of banks. The inefficiency scores also indicate that, across ownership categories, medium-sized banks are poorer performers than their smaller and larger counterparts.
