520 $a The essays compiled for this dissertation are based on the broad theme of economic liberalization and changes in growth, income distribution and poverty levels specifically in the context of India.
520 $a The first essay studies the impact of removal of tariffs on wages of agricultural labor. It uses a simple general-equilibrium model with a two-sector, two-factor economy characterized by urban unemployment. In the short run, when capital is sector-specific, it is shown that, contrary to the prediction of the Stolper-Samuelson theorem, free trade leads to a decline in the real agricultural wage rate.
520 $a In the second essay, a methodology is developed to rigorously decompose changes in poverty and quantify the relative contribution of growth versus redistribution. The decomposition analysis is carried in the context of the economic liberalization in India. The results indicate that in most of the states in India, a rapid rise in the income levels, especially since the economic reforms, led to a decline in poverty levels. Poverty declined not only as the head count ratio but also as the poverty gap and squared poverty gap. In the post-reform period, changes in the distribution of income adversely affected the poor. However, growth was the most important factor contributing to a decline in poverty.
520 $a A decomposition of the spatial differences in poverty in India is undertaken in the third essay. The analysis reveals that most of the regional variation in poverty across the states is accounted for, largely by the variation in the states' average incomes rather than by differences in the states' distribution of income.
520 $a The fourth essay studies convergence in the distribution of income across the states in India over a period of four decades, from 1960s to 1990s. The analysis shows that though inequality declined in the rural sector, the distribution of income diverged across the states. In the urban sector, income distribution across the states converged though overall level of income inequality hardly changed.
520 $a These essays are self-contained; however, when combined together they address the several aspects of income inequality, its changes over time and its impact on poverty alleviation.
