Abstract

India's tea business has a long history and plays a significant role in the economics of the nation. India is the world's second-largest producer of tea, with Assam and Darjeeling being the most well-known tea-growing regions. Since the British introduced tea cultivation to India in the 1820s, the nation has produced tea. Millions of people are employed in the tea sector today, and it contributes significantly to the Indian economy in terms of revenue. The production of tea has changed significantly in India over the years, moving more and more towards organic and sustainable practices. The industry has also had to deal with difficulties like competition from other nations that produce tea, varying tea prices, and labor-related problems. Despite these obstacles, the Indian tea business is still growing and produces a wide variety of teas, such as black tea, green tea, and chai tea. Additionally, the sector encourages travel through "tea tourism," which allows tourists to see how tea is made and discover its origins in India. Overall, India's tea business continues to play a significant role in its history, culture, and economy.

Local Media and the Shaping of Social Norms: Evidence from the Ebola outbreak

Media's influence on norms and behavior is widely recognized. Less is known about the role played by media being local. I examine this in a high-stakes context, the Ebola outbreak in Guinea. I exploit quasi-random variation in access to radio and the timing of a public-health campaign aired on community radio. I find that 12-17% of Ebola cases could have been prevented if places with access to a neighboring community radio station had instead had their own. Impacts are driven by radio being local rather than by ethno-linguistic belonging. Local media facilitates coordination in behaviors observed and sanctioned locally.

Productivity Shocks and Input Misallocation: A Decomposition

This paper asks how much input misallocation productivity uncertainty generates and at which stage of input decisions it arises. I separate revenue productivity by when each component is revealed and trace each into the gap between an input's marginal revenue product and its price. In six European countries, shocks revealed after an input is committed account for 20 percent of capital gap dispersion and 5 percent of labor gap dispersion. An unanticipated one percent rise in productivity raises the capital gap by 0.92 percent and the labor gap by 0.19 percent, because most of the shock passes into the wage.

When Do Type-Specific Wages Buffer Distributional Incidence in TANK?

When do relative wages buffer the unequal incidence of aggregate shocks? I derive a consumption-gap decomposition and a present-value condition for partial offset in a TANK model. An extension separates wage-setting demand elasticity from substitution between labor segments and allows each segment to contain both financial types. With a zero inherited wage gap and a same-sign discounted wedge, substitution above one gives offsetting earnings reallocation; substitution below one gives amplification. The channel disappears when financial types have identical segment exposure. Numerical experiments assess these mechanisms, shock persistence, policy feedback, and aggregate-IRF matching. In the nested perfect-alignment monetary benchmark, the peak consumption gap is about two-fifths smaller under type-specific wages than under the common-wage closure. These are conditional model comparisons, not empirical effect estimates or welfare rankings.
