भारत में सिंचाई और स्थानीय आर्थिक विकास के स्थान आधारित पैटर्न
भारत की सिंचाई परियोजनाओं का उद्देश्य कृषि की उत्पादकता और ग्रामीण विकास को बढ़ावा देना है। इस लेख में ब्लेकस्ली एवं अन्य द्वारा स्थानीय आर्थिक गतिविधियों की संरचना में सिंचाई उपलब्ध होने के दीर्घकालिक प्रभावों का अध्ययन किया गया है। वे पाते हैं कि कृषि उत्पादकता, जनसंख्या घनत्व और आर्थिक विकास के अन्य सूचकों में वृद्धि होने के कारण सिंचाई उपलब्ध होने का ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में सकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है। लेकिन सिंचित शहरी क्षेत्रों पर इसका उल्टा प्रभाव पड़ता है जहां गैर-कृषि आर्थिक गतिविधियों में गिरावट दिखती है।
Irrigation and the spatial pattern of local economic development in India
Irrigation projects across India are intended to boost agricultural productivity and rural development. In this post, Blakeslee et al. study the long-run effects of access to irrigation on the composition of local economic activity. They find that while access to irrigation has a positive impact on rural villages by increasing agricultural productivity, population density and other indicators of economic development, the reverse is true for irrigated towns, which experience a decline in local non-agricultural economic activity.
The impact of services trade on non-tradable services in India
A share of India's service sector growth can be attributed to tradable services, which can also have positive productivity impacts on manufacturing. This article looks at the effect of services trade on employment growth in non-tradable services. It finds that an increase in tradable services employment led to an increase in employment in non-tradable services from 1990 to 2013, and that this is explained by increases in consumer demand. The impact is larger among female workers and small firms.
