Dual Pricing: Theory And Applications., Shikha Jha Dr. Dec 1987

Dual Pricing: Theory And Applications., Shikha Jha Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Even after thirty five yaara of planned economic develogment a large fraction of people in India cannot afford to have the basic necessities Like food, clothing and shelter. To quote from the Econonic Survey [1984-85), Buoyant agricultural parformance thus far has dependad mainly upon production gains in wheat and rice. Performance with raspect to other critical crops, such as pulser and oilseeds, and dryland farning generally, remains veak. The rate of growth of industry, although somewhat higher than in the ten years preceding the sixth Plan, remains low... population continues to grow at about 2 percent per year. At this …

A Quantitative Analysis Of Poverty, Inequality And Consumer Behaviour: The Case Of The Schedule Casts And Tribes Of Karnataka., Shailaja Raghuprasad Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The concept of growth with social justice is basic to the philosophy of development underlying Indian economic Planning. This philosophy is reflected in our former Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi's foreword to the sixth Plan (1980-85) document where she wrote, Economic Growth must be balanced, it must ensure self - reliance, stability and social justice. All sections should be assured that there will be no discrimination'.It is with those weaker sections - rather a segment of them that this study is concerned, Our study is an attempt to look closely at the levels of living and the consumer behaviour of …

Asymptotic Study Of Estimators In Some Discrete And Continuous Time Model., Arup Bose Dr. May 1987

Asymptotic Study Of Estimators In Some Discrete And Continuous Time Model., Arup Bose Dr.

Doctoral Theses

This thesis deals with an asymptotic study of estimatore in some discrete time and continuOus time models.The firet part deele with time eeriee date modelled by moving sverage and eutoregreseive proceseee. Higher order as ymptotioe beyond. as ymptotio normality, of the usual astimatore heve been dealt by Phillipe (1977,1978), Durbin (198o), Oohi (1983), Tanaka (1983), Fujikoshi and Ochi (1984). o(n-1/2) or o(n-1) expenaions ara 'obteined by these authore under the assumption of normality of orrors. The reason for this wes the lack of suitable. expaneions for normalized sums of dependent random vectora. Recently Gotza and Hipp (1983) heve been able …

Extensions Of Gromov Theory., Sumanta Guha Dr. Feb 1987

Extensions Of Gromov Theory., Sumanta Guha Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Gromov formulated and proved a very general Smale - Hirsch - Phillips type theorem. The theorem concerns the claseification of a class of cross-sections o of a smooth fibre bundle E X over a non-closed manifold X such that each r-jet j(0) satisfies an openness condition as well es a stability condition. Briefly, the openness condition is that each j(a) is a cross-section of some preacribed open subbundle of the bundle of r-jets of local oross- sections of EX, and. the etability condition is that this subbundle remain invarient under the action of the paeudogroup of local diffeo- morphisme of …

Multisectoral Model Of Income Distribution Poverty And Growth:Some Policy Exercies For Indian Economy., Debdas Bandyopadhyay Dr. Feb 1987

Multisectoral Model Of Income Distribution Poverty And Growth:Some Policy Exercies For Indian Economy., Debdas Bandyopadhyay Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The extent of poverty in any country depends upon two factors vlz, the average level of income anxd the degree of inequality in its distribution. The central theme in the continuing debate on the relationship between growth and poverty is whether past growth process in the developing countries has caused any signi.licant benefit to the poor. Kuznets (1955) was first to observe from cross country data that procosa of development is likely to be accompanied by increase in inequality, whhich would reverse itself only at a relatively advanced stage. This hypothesis has been subsequently confirned to some extent by several …

Studies In Set Theoretic Hierarchies:From Borel Sets To R-Sets., Rana Barua Dr. Feb 1987

Studies In Set Theoretic Hierarchies:From Borel Sets To R-Sets., Rana Barua Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The present thesis consists of three parts.Part I of the thesis is devoted to the study of regularity propertion of classes of sets obtained from 8-8 operations applied to the class of clopen set s. In particular, the classes of set s obtained by applying the hierarchy of increasingly complex R-operations {Rp,), are investing at ed. Our points of departure in this study are the recent works on R- sets by Hi nm an and Burgess. In this thesis we have unified the methods of Hinman and Burgess by extensively u sing the game quantifier and methods of inductive definability. …
