AIDS, stigma and counter-intuitive advertising in India
No full textGrassroots-level advocacy by community organisations, collectives and networks has been central to AIDs awareness and control in India. The government too plays an important role. Yet, as Jo Krishnakumar discusses here, the government’s well-intended actions can sometimes be counter-intuitive and counter-productive, negatively impacting decades of carefully created awareness
Model-based multidimensional poverty indices: theoretical construction and statistical properties
No full textThis thesis is concerned with the operationalisation of the "Capability Approach" (CA) in order to obtain quantitative measures of Human Development in various domains. It consists of three essays that quantify well-being, poverty and female empowerment in the "capability" space. The first essay applies the methodology developed by Krishnakumar (Journal of Human Development 2007) for operationalizing the CA using structural equation latent variable modelling, for estimating and analyzing basic capabilities in the knowledge and living conditions domains for Bolivian children. The second essay extends this model-based approach for measuring deprivation in the functioning-capability space, in the presence of multiple-dimensions and multiple-indicators. Finally, the third essay proposes a structural model for measuring female empowerment in a capability perspective, using the intra-household gender dynamics literature as the theoretical support. These three key contributions show the importance of going beyond descriptive measures to adequately target the most vulnerable groups

An Application of an Error Correction Model with Higher Order Cointegrated Variables to the Demand for Money in Switzerland
No full textThis paper applies the maximum likelihood technique to estimate the parameters of a money demand equation for Switzerland in which there are variable integrated of different orders and in particular of order greater than 1. The estimation method developed by the authors has been explained in detail in Krishnakumar and Gueye (1998) which also derives the limiting distributions of the resulting estimators. The procedure was implemented in MATLAB for estimating our empirical model.Unit Roots ; Cointegration ; Money ; Models
Eat AND Study but Wii OR Ski! Differentiating Between ‘Basic’ and ‘Non-basic’ Dimensions in a Multidimensional Index
No full textMeasuring and monitoring multidimensional wellbeing have become central issues in international policy debates in recent years. Interpreting heterogeneity in achievement levels across dimensions in terms of individual freedom of choice, and arguing that the degree of substitutability should not only depend on this variation, but also on the typology of dimensions, we propose a Generalized Multidimensional Synthetic index that introduces several layers of flexibility in the aggregation methodology. We classify dimensions into different groups, for example basic and non-basic, and allow for varying substitutability rates within as well as between groups. After examining the theoretical properties of the new index, we perform simulation experiments which highlight the salient features of our index compared to other frequently used indices
