Route-wise Estimates of India's Informal Exports to Pakistan (2012-13)
Source publication
Informal trade continues to thrive between India and Pakistan despite recent measures undertaken by the two countries to normalize trade and reduce transport impediments. This calls for an in-depth analysis of India’s informal trade with Pakistan. This study (i) identifies factors determining informal trade, (ii) prepares estimates of India's infor...

In this paper we demonstrate both theoretically as well as numerically that neural networks can detect model-free static arbitrage opportunities whenever the market admits some. Due to the use of neural networks, our method can be applied to financial markets with a high number of traded securities and ensures almost immediate execution of the corr...
We develop hypothetical basic laws of trade to improve the theory of comparative advantage and the theory of international trade. According to the theory of comparative advantage of David Ricardo and Ohlin-Heckscher, countries with different resources and technology will benefit from trading, regardless of competitiveness. This is the core theory i...
We introduce the problem of groundwater trading, capturing the emergent groundwater market setups among stakeholders in a given groundwater basin. The agents optimize their production, taking into account their available water rights, the requisite water consumption, and the opportunity to trade water among themselves. We study the resulting Nash e...
Portfolios in idiosyncratic momentum are formed on past residuals of the Fama-French three factor model rather than past total returns. This study examines whether the idiosyncratic momentum strategy can sustain excess returns following the emergence of traded options. We compare idiosyncratic momentum returns with traditional momentum returns over...
According to the theory of comparative advantage of David Ricardo and Ohlin-Heckscher, countries with different resources and technology will benefit from trading, regardless of competitiveness. This is the core theory in international trade. However, in the real world, this theory does not always work. Some countries may gain from trading, some ma...

... We review extant research and offer a conceptual framework on informal cross border trade (ICBT) -commercial exchanges of goods and services by informal traders operating between borders. Although ICBT occurs between countries in other parts of the world including China/North Korea, India/Pakistan, Myanmar/Thailand, USA/Mexico and vast parts of Eastern Europe (see Aung 2009;Hastings and Wang 2018;Pisani and Richardson 2012;Sword 1999;Taneja and Bimal 2017;Xheneti, Smallbone, and Welter 2013), it is ubiquitous in Sub-Saharan Africa. Multiple studies (e.g. ...
We provide a literature review and a conceptual framework on informal cross border trade in Sub-Saharan Africa. Informal cross border trade (ICBT) refers to commercial exchanges conducted across borders by individuals operating as unregistered sole traders. ICBT is a burgeoning part of the informal markets in Sub-Saharan Africa and its existence and persistence carry substantial socio-economic implications. We use “summarizing” and “delineating” techniques to discuss seven themes of ICBT, and cast them as the manifestations of a substratum marketing system - a foundational structure instead of an auxiliary system. We underline implications for scholarship and for policymakers and non-governmental organizations charged with formulating initiatives to manage both ICBT and formal markets.
The paper attempts to study the interrelation of war and national identity. It will establish a theoretical framework for nations, nationalism, national identity and the impact of national identity on war and vice versa. Wars start as a clash of national identities, and the longer it perpetuates it gets absorbed into the identity discourse. Hence, as wars stretch longer, the chances of arbitration grow narrower as nations start identifying the war with their nationhood. The paper further analyses the Indo-Pak conflict within the frame work of clash of national identities. It focuses on demarcating India and Pakistan's national identity and studies the conflict. It concludes that to arbitrate a conflict between nations a historical analysis of the nations in question and a grass roots ethnographic research of war narratives is pertinent.
