Economic Dependency Ratio as a Dimension of Poverty and Vulnerability Shilpa Deo, Anjali Sane, Sushil Sharma, Saeed Tabar Understanding the Multi Dimensional Nature of Poverty, 2024 The first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which is to be attained by the year 2030, is to ‘End poverty in all its forms everywhere’.1 However, the progress made in reducing poverty has been reversed due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The worsening poverty, inequality and vulnerability call for identifying the acuteness of the problem with the help of dimensions like the economic dependency ratio along with other sources like poverty line, access to social security, health care, basic services, food security and asset ownership and social networks at the village to name a few. The economic dependency ratio goes beyond the age dependency ratio and tries to capture the dependency better by incorporating the number of dependants and employed ones in the calculation. In this study, an attempt has been made to highlight the importance of the economic dependency ratio to measure vulnerability better in India. Unemployment data provided by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) has been utilised to understand the severity of dependency at the country level. Primary data has been collected with the help of the Proportionate Stratified Sampling method from 600 notified, non-notified slum households staying in the western part of India and in-depth interviews have been conducted with a few homeless families. Quantitative data has been analysed using SPSS and Stata software. This study will be immensely useful as it aims to improvise the methodology to identify the poor and vulnerable. Better identification can take us a step closer to achieving SDG 1.
The Emotional Rollercoaster of Market Overreaction: Understanding the Psychological Drivers of Irrational Market Behaviour Sushil Kumar Gupta, Varsha Shriram Nerlekar, Anjali Sane, Manjiri Gadekar, Shrikant Waghulkar Psychological Drivers of Herding and Market Overreaction, 2024 Market overreactions, driven by psychological and cognitive factors, have significant economic consequences, impacting individual investors and broader financial systems. This chapter explores how emotions like fear, anxiety, greed, and euphoria contribute to market volatility, alongside cognitive biases such as confirmation and anchoring. It also examines herding behavior, the influence of authority figures, and the role of media in shaping market sentiment. Additionally, it considers neurological and physiological factors like stress and dopamine responses in investor behavior. Through case studies, the chapter illustrates these drivers' real-world impacts and offers strategies for mitigating emotional and cognitive biases. Emphasizing diversification, risk management, and regulatory measures, it provides insights for investors and policymakers to navigate and stabilize market overreactions.
Diversity as an innovative means to improve corporate governance: a new perspective Tak Yan Leung, Anjali Sane Journal of Indian Business Research, 2023 Purpose The purpose of this study is to address the research gap about the impact of board and audit committee diversity (gender, ethnicity, age and education) on audit fee by using a balanced panel of listed firms in four Asian markets – Hong Kong, India, Malaysia and Singapore. The authors argue that a more diverse board and audit committee with the inclusion of females, international directors and directors of different education levels may act as a more effective and innovative mechanism to monitor and regulate important managerial decision such as audit fee. Design/methodology/approach The authors use a two-stage framework to address the endogeneity issue and the random-effects panel model to control for firm heterogeneity on a balanced panel of 200 firms in four Asian regions over 2011–2013 to examine the hypotheses presented in this study. Findings The authors find that diversity is a factor determining the level of fees paid to audit firms. A more diverse board and audit committee may demand audit services involving differential effort. Firms with more international directors on board and in audit committee pay a higher fee. In addition, a more educationally diverse board and audit committee also pay a higher fee. In contrast, a significant negative relationship is found between audit committee gender diversity and audit fees, but not between board gender diversity and audit fees, suggesting that a more gender-diverse audit committee asks for less audit effort and pays a lower audit fee. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study are based on three years of data from the largest 50 firms in four Asian regions, which limits the generalizability of the results. Like other cross-country studies, the analyses in this study also have problems in controlling for all unobservable factors related to cross-country differences in regulations or institutional environments. Diversity can take other forms, including experience, profession, tenure and marital status which are not a part of this study and lay the foundation for future research. Practical implications A firm with a more education-diverse board is more committed to quality monitoring and demands higher audit effort, and consequently, higher fees are paid to audit firms. More educationally diverse board and audit committee exercise more effective monitoring and prefer greater audit effort. Social implications Firms with more ethnic-diverse boards and audit committees may demand greater assurance for investor protection and pay higher audit fees. The complementary view of internal and external governance systems suggests more effective monitors may prefer additional protection through the purchase of more audit effort. The findings on education diversity and ethnic diversity are consistent with the argument of the complementary view. Originality/value This study highlights the significant impacts of diversity (gender, education and ethnicity) in the financial reporting process.
