LSE India Observatory Public Lecture
Maximizing the development outcomes of remittances: the role of multi-stakeholder approaches
Various Speakers
About 250 million migrant workers live outside of their home countries. A significant majority of them send money home, impacting on average 4.5 people each in their countries of origin. Adding together all the millions of transactions involved, the World Bank estimates that these remittances surpassed US$450 billion to developing countries in 2015 and reached over a billion people.
Remittances increase the household income and living standards of those receiving them, providing additional funds for health, education, housing and investment. They now play a key role in the development agenda with the international community seeking to reduce costs (for example through the Sustainable Development Goal framework via target 10.c) and maximize the impact they can have on the individuals, communities and countries that receive them.
In recognition of this, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) proclaimed 16 June as the International Day of Family Remittances. To mark the day, this event will bring together speakers to discuss the potential of multi-stakeholder approaches – across sectors such as migration, banking, money transfer and development – in facilitating reliable and low-cost remittances, ensuring policy coherence and maximizing the outcomes of remittances.
Speakers will include Mohit Davar, Laura Hammond, Tauhid Pasha, Dilip Ratha and Carlos Vargas-Silva

Multi-level Finance and the Euro Crisis: Causes and Effects
Various Speakers
Speakers: Ehtisham Ahmad and Giorgio Brosio
Representing a unique contribution to the analysis and discussion of the unfolding Eurozone crisis in terms of the relationship between central and local government, this book addresses a number of important fiscal and political economy questions. To what extent have local and regional governments contributed to the crisis? To what degree have subnational services and investments borne the brunt of the adjustments? How have multi-level fissures affected tensions between different levels of government from the supranational to the local? This volume covers these and many other critical issues that have been largely ignored despite their relevance.

Rethinking the Global Monetary System
Raghuram Rajan
(Governor of the Reserve Bank of India)
The global financial crisis has shaken up the international financial architecture. Regulatory changes and unconventional monetary policies have mainly served the interests of advanced economies. Raghuram Rajan, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, would like to see more coordination to reduce volatility and a more effective "global safety net" to protect those most vulnerable.

Other Regarding Principal and Moral Hazard: A Microeconomic Analysis
Swapnendu Banerjee
(Subir Chowdhury Fellow (2015-16) from Jadavpur University, Kolkata)
2pm to 3.30pm, Room 32L.LG.02, 32 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, LSE
Chair: Ruth Kattumuri
Using the classic moral hazard problem with limited liability we characterize the optimal incentive contracts when first an other-regarding principal interacts with a self-regarding agent. The optimal contract differs considerably when the principal is ‘inequity averse’ vis-a-vis the self-regarding case. Also the agent is generally (weakly) better-off under an ‘inequity averse’ principal compared to a ‘status seeking’ principal. Then we extend our analysis and characterize the optimal contracts when both other-regarding principal and other-regarding agent interact.

ADB Report - A Smarter Future: Skills, Education and Growth in Asia and the Pacific
Juzhong Zhuang
(Asian Development Bank)
1.30pm to 2.30pm, Room TW2.9.04, Tower 2, LSE
Chair: Athar Hussain
The ADB report shows that developing Asia has done well in expanding access to education. But continued economic transformation requires the region to focus more on the quality of education, and to ensure that its workforce has the full complement of skills - cognitive, non-cognitive, and technical - needed for sustained growth. To achieve this goal, developing Asia must base public financing on measurable educational outcomes; design curricula that are well matched to student capabilities and labour-market needs; make sure that curricula are delivered well; and ensure that the disadvantaged receive high-quality education. Above all, decisions in these areas must be guided by robust data metrics for better monitoring, performance evaluation, and accountability.

India: The Sustainable Green Growth Challenge
Jairam Ramesh
(Former Minister of Environment and Forests, Government of India)
The debate on whether to privilege economic growth over ecological security is passé. Environmental considerations must be at the heart of economic growth, especially for a country of 1.25 billion people destined to add another 400 million by the middle of the century. Jairam Ramesh's new book Green Signals: Ecology, Growth, and Democracy in India chronicles the ‘1991 moment’ in India’s environmental decision-making, telling the story of how, for the first time, the doors of the environment ministry were opened to voices, hitherto unheard, into the policy-making process. It details efforts to change the way environment is viewed both by proponents of environmental security and those who prize economic growth at all costs.

Formal and Informal Seed Sector in India and Bangladesh: An examination of mechanism and institutions
Saurabh Kumar
(Subir Chowdhury Fellow (2014-15) from CUTS International, India)
1pm to 2pm Room TW2.10.01B, Tower 2, LSE
This paper examines policies, mechanisms and institutions related to the formal and informal seed sector in India and Bangladesh. Informal seed trade is defined as the sum of farmers’ seed production and exchange. Seeds produced and traded by farmers at the informal level is still a major part of the seed sector in India and Bangladesh. Although governments in both the countries have tried to replace it with formal seed production and trade, the legislative framework, institutional weakness and constraints in mechanism impose limits to these efforts. In this context, a re-evaluation of the existing scenario is needed to improve seed production and supply in both countries.

Second Demographic Transition or Competing Aspirations: An exploratory analysis of fertility transition in Kolkata, India
Saswata Ghosh
(Sir Ratan Tata Post-doctoral Fellow (2014-15) from the Institute of Development Studies Kolkata)
1.45pm to 3pm, Room TW2.10.01B, Tower 2, LSE
Fertility transition occurred during 1970s in Kolkata (erstwhile Calcutta), capital of the state of West Bengal, India, and remained persistently at the lowest-low fertility level. It currently has the lowest fertility rates (TFR 1.2) in India. This could be a case of second demographic transition (SDT) or pertaining to constrains in childbearing and childrearing, and/or aspirations for children. Using primary data of 600 couples (1,200 individuals), and employing quantitative and qualitative methods the present study found that constraints in childbearing and childrearing; and aspirations for children; have strong negative and significant effect on second and higher order childbearing among couples, particularly among women. In our study there was no strong evidence of decline in the importance of marriage, family and children as posited by SDT. Thus we argue that SDT might have to be redefined in a developing country context. Further research is required to validate this argument.

Enriching our lives – why the Humanities and Social Sciences matter now
Various Speakers
Organised by Institute of Public Affairs and British Academy
In February 2014 the British Academy published Prospering Wisely, a multimedia resource which explores the nature of ‘prosperity’ in today’s world. It highlights the importance of thinking beyond simple measures such as GDP, showing how humanities and social science research fuels our modern knowledge-based economy, helps sustain our healthy, open democracy and contributes to human and cultural wellbeing and ‘the good life’. At the heart of this contribution is the vital role played by research, epitomised by a renowned centre of research and teaching excellence such as the LSE. As a nation are we investing sufficiently in these drivers of future success and human progress? Are cuts in public expenditure imperilling the UK’s hard-won world-leading status?

Climate Change and Indus River System Floods, 2010 - 2014: Faulty institutions and governance deficit
Uzma Hanif
(Sir Ratan Tata Post-Doctoral Fellow (2013-2014) from Forman Christian College, Lahore)
12.30pm to 2pm, Room TW2.10.01B, Tower 2, LSE
Chair: Professor Athar Hussain
Across the world extreme climatic events have become more common due to the on-going process of climate change which affects all regions of the world in various ways with none immune. The impact is also felt in Pakistan where, according to forecasts, worse is yet to come.
The Inter-government Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in its fifth assessment report, identifies floods as key climatic events which pose a threat to infrastructure, the built environment and livelihood. This threat is particularly grave in South Asia, which depends heavily on seasonal rains for farming. Within South Asia, Pakistan, the land of five rivers, is especially prone to droughts and floods, both occurring in the same year.
The Indus system is the main source of food, water and energy for Pakistan. The recurrent floods over the past five years have inflicted a heavy toll in human and animal lives and physical damage. This study explains that deficits in constitutional, legislative and administrative structures, an unstable macro-economic environment, and faulty institutions have compounded the damage and loss caused by floods.

The Stamp Memorial Lecture: Poverty and the Pope
Jagdish Bhagwati
(Columbia University)
The Occupy Movement has focused the ethical attention of many on the rich. By contrast, the ethical objective has been refocused instead on the poor, most notably by Pope Francis. The focus on the rich reflects usually mankind’s ignoble instincts like envy and jealousy. On the other hand, focus on the poor and on reducing poverty reflects mankind’s noblest instinct: empathy for the poor and the unfortunate among us. While therefore the refocus on the poor is to be applauded, the next question is: how are the poor to be aided?

IG Patel Lecture
India - Macroeconomic Challenges, Some Reserve Bank Perspectives
Duvvuri Subbarao
(22nd Governor of Reserve Bank of India 2008 - 2013)
This is the 5th lecture in honour of Dr Indraprastha Gordhanbhai (IG) Patel who was the ninth director of LSE from 1984 to 1990.
Over the five years through 2003-08 leading up to the global financial crisis, India clocked an average annual growth of 8.7 per cent on the back of wide ranging structural and policy reforms and growing integration with the global economy. By the year 2008, India was the fourth largest economy in the world in purchasing power parity terms. For a nation that once believed that the ‘Hindu rate of growth’ was its destiny, this remarkable growth performance became a trigger for setting off aspirations for double-digit growth.
Those aspirations have moderated significantly with growth moderating below trend in the post-crisis period owing to the impact of the global downturn as also a host of domestic policy and operational bottlenecks. The post-crisis period has also been characterised by a large fiscal deficit, historically high current account deficit and inflation persisting above the comfort level. Macroeconomic management during this period has had to contend with balancing between stimulating growth and reining in inflation, dealing with the short-term pressures in external sector without compromising long-term sustainability and returning to a path of fiscal responsibility.
Dr Subbarao, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, will reflect on these challenges from the Reserve Bank perspective and illustrate the dilemmas encountered in making policy choices.
