Group bargaining and conflict

We consider a situation where groups negotiate over the allocation of a surplus (which is used to fund group specific goods). Each group is composed of agents who have differing valuations for public goods. Members choose a representative to take decisions on their behalf. Specifically, representatives can either negotiate cooperatively or use conflict to appropriate the surplus. In the cooperative negotiations disagreement corresponds to a pro rata allocation (as a function of the size of the groups). We analyse the conditions (on the internal composition of the groups) under which conflict will be preferred to negotiated agreements (and vice versa), and we derive welfare implications. Finally, we provide results of comparative statics that highlight the influence of changes in the internal composition of groups and in their relative size on the profitability of negotiated agreements.

The Contribution of Creative Accounting on Economic Development

Accounting process consists of dealing with many matters of judgment and of resolving conflicts between competing approaches to the presentation of the results of financial events and transactions; this flexibility provides opportunities for manipulation, deceit and misrepresentation. This study presented the frame work, short falls and motives for creative accounting in economic development. Descriptive analysis and inferences from existing literature on the effect of creative accounting was used to discuss the negative effects of creative accounting on global development. It was suggested that since the practice of creative accounting is completely deceptive and fraudulent the implementation of measures such as reducing the scope for choice of accounting methods by reducing the number of permitted accounting methods, thus specifying circumstances in which each method should be used. Also, the abuse of judgment can be curbed by drafting rules that minimize the use of judgment and prescribe consistency so that if a company chooses an accounting policy that suits it in one year, it will be forced to use the same method in future circumstances where the result may be less favourable .

The economic effects of a counterinsurgency policy in India: A synthetic control analysis

Using the synthetic control method, we analyze the economic effects of a unique counterinsurgency response to the Naxalite insurgency in India. Of all the states affected by Naxalite violence, only one state, Andhra Pradesh, raised a specially trained and equipped police force in 1989 known as the Greyhounds, dedicated to combating the Naxalite insurgency. Compared to a synthetic control region constructed from states affected by Naxalite violence that did not raise a similar police force, we find that the per capita NSDP of Andhra Pradesh increased significantly over the period 1989–2000. Further, we find that the effects on the manufacturing sector are particularly strong. Placebo tests indicate that these results are credible and various difference-in-difference specifications using state and industry level panel data further corroborate these findings.
