| dc.description.abstract | India is the major producer and consumer of pulses in the world, both in terms of quantum and variety. In India, a large proportion of population is vegetarian and pulses form the main source of vegetable proteins for them. Although, India’s pulse production accounts for about 25 and 33 per cent of global production and area, respectively, yields remain lower than in many other countries of the world. The country still it has to go a long way to meet the minimum per capita requirement of 80 grams per day recommened by the World Health Organisation. Further, per capita per day availability of pulses continues to decline, owing to increasing population and per capita income. Simultaneously, stagnation in the pulses productivity and acreage pose a threat for further decline in the per capita availability of pulses. In this study, an attempt was made to examine the performance of the pulses sector, to identify the underlying factors affecting pulses supply response and to assess the integration of major pulses markets. This thesis contribution to the pulses economic literature is both methodological and empirical. Many of the past supply response studies are based on traditional econometric techniques (classic linear regression) and the Nerlovian framework. Results of traditional econometric techniques are reliable when the time series data are stationary. However, there can be a possibility that some macroeconomic time series data are non stationary and the results and conclusions drawn from using those techniques have the risk of invalidity. This study specifically attempts to quantify the supply response, when the variables in the data set expressed in levels are neither stationary nor nonstationary. Findings of this study suggest that stagnation in pulses production and acreage may be attributed to the widening revenue gap between pulses and their respective competing crops. The spatial market integration among the important wholesale markets was examined to assess the pulses market efficiency. The distinguished feature of this paper is the application of the ARDL model to assess cointegration when a majority of Indian pulse markets price series are stationary and non-stationary which excludes the use of Johansen and Engle Granger cointegration techniques. Findings of the study suggest that Indian pulse markets are transmitting part of the shocks they receive, implying that Indian pulse markets are interlinked but not perfectly integrated. | en_US |
