This situation could be ascribed to the underlying financialization issue in these countries, along with the implementation issues with renewable energy generation. In the wake of these two scenarios, the G7 countries are struggling to reduce carbon emissions (CO2). Handling this issue might require a policy reorientation, which is what this study focuses on. More specifically, it analyzes the nonlinear and asymmetric effects of financial development and renewable energy generation on CO2 emissions. The study, which encompassed the 1986–2019 period, adopts non-linear Autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) and two-stage least square (2SLS) techniques. An SDG-oriented policy framework has been recommended based on these study outcomes. While this policy framework is aimed at addressing the objectives of SDG 13 and 7, the framework is generalizable to other nations. The contribution of the present study is an emphasis on the environmental policy issues of the G7 countries, and the accompanying recommendation of this SDG-oriented policy framework. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z http://103.65.197.75:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/416 Title: Critical Perspectives on Public Systems Management in India - Through the Lens of District Administration - Book review Authors: Ghalke, Avinash 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z http://103.65.197.75:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/413 Title: COVID-19 Pandemic, Public Policy, and Institutions in India Authors: De, Indranil; Chattopadhyay, Soumyadip; Nathan, Hippu Salk Kristle; Sarkar, Kingshuk Abstract: This book looks at the institutional and governance issues faced by India during the first and second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse impact on the vulnerable sectors and groups. 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z http://103.65.197.75:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/412 Title: The changing world of work and labour market institutions in India Authors: Sarkar, Kingshuk Abstract: During the last decade and half, India has witnessed significant changes in the world of work. There has been large-scale informalization of the labour force (93 per cent being the share of informal labour) (Government of India, 2015) and a corresponding growth in non-standard employment, a decline in social dialogue and tripartism, a weakening of trade unions, and a shift in focus from enforcement of labour laws to redistribution through various social security schemes. During the same time period, India has experienced considerable reforms in labour administration as well as labour legislation. Such reform initiatives have included increasing use of technology, greater focus on skill development and employment generation, introduction of social security and welfare schemes, and amendments of certain provisions of labour laws. In the process, the role of labour administration in India has undergone transformations which are administrative in nature and, unlike in earlier periods, not an outcome of rigorous social dialogue and tripartite consultation processes. A weakening of trade unions across the sectors and across States has further aggravated the situation (Sen Gupta, 2003). A unilateral administrative approach to reforms of labour administration have somewhat diluted the characteristics of ‘labour’ in labour administration in India. A State vis-à-vis citizen client relation has already replaced the erstwhile tripartite structure (State-Employer-Employee) based on redistribution in an environment of stagnating labour market regime. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
