Shadow Education: Private Supplementary Tutoring and Its Implications for Policy Makers in Asia

0

beta.adb.org –

In all parts of Asia, households devote considerable expenditures to private supplementary tutoring. This tutoring may contribute to students’ achievement, but it also maintains and exacerbates social inequalities, diverts resources from other uses, and can contribute to inefficiencies in education systems. Such tutoring is widely called shadow education, because it mimics school systems. As the curriculum in the school system changes, so does the shadow. This study documents the scale and more...

Export of Services: Indian Experience in Perspective

0

nipfp.org.in –

For this paper, the authors survey India’s experience with exporting services. They show that its experience is unique in that modern tradable services are a significantly larger share of GDP than in other countries at comparable levels of economic development. This has not always been the case, however: India’s out-performance is limited to recent years. Policy initiatives, from trade reform to liberalization of domestic industrial and service sectors, were important for jump-starting the more...

The impossibility of rational consumer choice: A problem and its solution

0

springerlink.com –

This paper shows that a rational consumer choice along the lines traditionally suggested might lead to paradoxical results if one considers multidimensional goods, which incorporate a series of incommensurable aspects. Thereby, we explore the similarity between the resulting paradox and Kenneth Arrow’s well known Impossibility Theorem. Based on these considerations we suggest a solution for the former problem along the lines of Herbert Simon and Amos Tversky, which might - if driven to its more...

An emerging conclusion from research by the Africa Power and Politics Programme (APPP) in several African countries is that such bottlenecks are seldom addressed effectively by more...
