In the Churu district, most youths were primarily involved in crop production. In contrast, in the Sri Ganganagar district, they participated in a wider range of agricultural activities, such as supplying agricultural inputs, providing agri logistics and consulting services. The perceptions held by young people about the agricultural sector significantly affected their involvement in the sector in the Sri Ganganagar district but not in the Churu district. Barriers to effective participation included a lack of funding for starting businesses, low profitability, and personal goals that were not aligned with a career in agriculture. However, it was found that innovative agrivalue chain financing and market networks could enhance productivity and youth participation in the agricultural sector.","PeriodicalId":43367,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Economics and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45785402","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}

Growing luxury crops, such as rare flowers, may present unique opportunities for rural environments. Nevertheless, before starting such ventures, consideration of some variables is needed. The following research sought to determine the potential luxury crops hold when grown in rural areas. Expert producers served as panelists during three rounds of data collection. We developed a questionnaire using three questions, that is, plant products, an assessment based on SWOT analysis, and requirements to achieve competitive advantages. After the corresponding analysis, the participants reached a consensus on three classifications of plant products suitable to grow by entrepreneurs; 59 items emerged from the SWOT analysis, and 17 additional objects were associated with attaining competitive advantages. It was established that opportunities for successfully growing luxury products to achieve economic development exist. However, the improvement of regional human capital is needed to exploit such opportunities.","PeriodicalId":43367,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Economics and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43139131","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}

The present study attempted to investigate if the unidimensional measure of poverty based on the consumption expenditure approach can capture the actual state of poverty in Haryana. The study was based on the sixty-eighth round of the National Sample Survey on consumer expenditure. A total of eight indicators of poverty were chosen, namely; consumption expenditure, occupational security, educational level of head of household, educational level of the individual, lighting, cooking fuel, dwelling unit, and land ownership. These indicators were clubbed into three broad dimensions, namely, material well-being, education, and standard of living. The results revealed that consumption expenditure as a proxy to judge an individual's welfare in Haryana was unreliable as it under-represents deprivations across other indicators and had a low degree of association with them. A multidimensional measure of poverty was thus more suitable to capture the actual state of poverty. Further, it was found that education contributed the highest to Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), followed by material well-being and standard of living. Among individual indicators, the most significant contributors to MPI in Haryana were the educational level of household-head as well as other members, cooking fuel, occupational security, and consumption expenditure.","PeriodicalId":43367,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Economics and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42925521","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}

The study employs various econometric techniques, such as Johansen's test for co-integration, error correction model, Granger's causality test, Toda-Yamamoto causality test, and dynamic ordinary least squares model. The findings indicate that financial development has not played a significant role in reducing inflation in Egypt over the studied period. Additionally, inflation has been found to be an obstacle to financial development in the country. The results also suggest the presence of a long-term equilibrium relationship between financial development and inflation, which is unidirectional and runs from inflation to financial development. Furthermore, the study finds that the inflation rate, economic growth, exchange rate, and trade openness jointly impact financial development in both the short and long term. This implies that the past values of these variables can be used to predict the current and future values of financial development. However, it is not possible to use the financial development index to predict the inflation rate in Egypt in the short and long term.","PeriodicalId":43367,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Economics and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41466135","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}
