At the county level, the analysis of uneven regional economic development is focused on Jiangsu. The overall regional disparity in Jiangsu is decomposed into inter- and intra-regional disparities using generalized entropy approach. It is found that intra-regional disparities especially in southern Jiangsu had been reduced while the inter-regional disparity had been increased in 1978--1995. / China has experienced rapid economic development since 1978, but significant regional disparity exists at various spatial levels. Yangtze River Delta is one of the most important regions in China. This research employs various quantitative methods within a conceptual framework to analyze uneven regional development in Yangtze River Delta, especially in Jiangsu province. / In addition to the above discussion, regional economic development strategies in response to various problems facing Jiangsu are also broadly examined. The considered key strategies should be coordinated and their implementation will stimulate further economic development in the region. / In this study, uneven regional development and its causes are examined at two spatial levels. At the provincial level, two kinds of analyses are conducted. First, regional economic structural and competitive advantages in Yangtze River Delta are examined using the well-known shift-share analysis with respect to GDP in three industrial sectors. The relative importance of structural and competitive advantages of the regional economic growth is identified. Second, the contributions of various factors, such as capital investment, labor force, as well as total factor productivity (TFP) to the regional economic growth are estimated using Cobb-Douglas production function. TFP is found to be important in the delta while capital is also important in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. / Regional industrialization is one of the main processes of regional economic development. The driving forces behind the regional industrialization in Jiangsu are analyzed. The stepwise regression analysis is utilized to identify the relationships between various factors and the level of regional industrialization in different years. It is found that urban labor force and the share of TVEs in GOVIA are two fundamental factors of regional industrialization although other factors are significant in some years. / The effect of various factors on the regional industrialization may have spatial variation in terms of their location and economic background. The technique of geographically weighted regression (GWR) is adopted to examine the spatial variability of such effects. A clear spatial effect of regional development is identified. In particular, the GWR model is significantly better than the OLR (ordinary linear regression) model. / The findings of this research help to understand the process of unbalanced regional development in China. It is clear that many regions have their own unique path of regional development and each region requires detailed empirical analysis. The analysis results also shed light on the formulation of regional development policies crucial to the overall development of the whole nation. Various quantitative methods used in the research are very effective in dealing with various issues in the study of regional development. They give a formal means to unravel patterns and processes, and to substantiate or justify conceptual arguments. The approach and the method could be applied to study other regions in China. / Huang Yefang. / "November 2000." / Adviser: Leung Yee. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 61-10, Section: A, page: 4125. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2000. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 247-264). / Electronic reproduction.

Over 250,000 farmers have committed suicide across India since 1995, the majority of deaths concentrated in central India’s cotton belt. Scholarly consensus views suicides amongst the peasantry as debt-induced: transgenic cotton cultivation imprisons producers in downward monetary debt spirals. Based on two years of fieldwork in rural Vidarbha, my dissertation, ‘The Life of Debt in Rural India,’ examines the proximate entanglements of debt and techno-material transformations in cotton cultivation. It demonstrates that with the emergence of cash-debt as an essential component of the productive process, differentiated interest rates have become the medium of negotiating social and familial proximity. From a formerly caste-specific proscribed activity, the generalization of usurious lending has made monetary debt the language of social prestations (of gifts, grain and labour), reshaping customary understandings of status, honour and obligation. This project contributes to the anthropology of South-Asia, the peasantry and debt in two ways. In ethnographically tracing the force of debt as social obligation and the imbrication of modes of production with symbolic cultural life, I demonstrate the inadequacy of an economistic obsession with debt as monetary liability. Accordingly, against characterizations of the ‘risk-averse’ peasant in a customary moral economy, I describe an emergent ethical economy centered on uncertainty as risk becomes a structural precondition of peasant life.

The effect of economic condition on the relation between responding and overall rate of reinforcement has been an area of recent interest in operant research. The present research was conducted to determine whether the manipulation of the economic condition, by the systematic manipulation of the provision of substitute food, has an effect on this relation and whether open- and closed-economies represent two opposing alternatives or two parametric extremes along- a continuum. The results of two experiments conducted with pigeons using variable-interval and fixed-ratio schedules of reinforcement suggest that the manipulation of economic condition has a controlling effect on the relation between responding and overall rate of reinforcement, that open- and closed- economies are likely to represent points along- a continuum rather than all-or-none conditions, and that the differences in the response-to- reinforcement relation between open- and closed-economies are likely due to an interaction of incentive and regulatory effects. Additionally, specific methodological considerations for further research in this area are suggested.

This thesis examines income inequality in Taiwan from three perspectives: economic development, political democracy, and world-system/dependence. Education, population growth, population structure, unemployment, savings, and export growth are treated as variables. Below are the important conclusions. Economic development has an effect on income inequality. The level of development is crucial. In the 1950s and 1960s, the relationship was significant, but in the next two decades economic development did not further decrease income inequality. Sector dualism was not a good predictor. Democratization did not have an obvious relation with income inequality. But the stable political environment and the endeavors of government to keep the society stable were crucial to economic development and improvement in income inequality. Foreign capital and export dependence did not retard economic development and worsen income inequality. But the influence of foreign capital did not contradict the world-system/dependence argument. Expansion of education had a negative relation with income inequality. The most important thing was the expansion of primary school education and junior high school education. The predicted relation between population growth and population structure and income inequality was not totally supported. Export expansion and savings expansion had an important influence on economic development and, like the relation between the economic development and income inequality, the relation between the expansion of exports and savings and income inequality was stronger in the 1960s than in the 1950s. Unemployment had almost the same change pattern as income inequality. This implies that employment had a negative relation with income inequality and, after 1970, the low unemployment helped keep inequality at a low level in the 1970s and 1980s. In the late 1980s and early 1990s income inequality increased slightly as radical changes in economic structure, political environment, and other social factors transformed Taiwan. Other developed countries also show an increase in income inequality associated with similar changes. Thus income inequality in Taiwan is predicted to increase further.
