Environmentally Extended Social Accounting Matrix (ESAM) for Climate Change Analysis in India

Economic development has been associated with structural changes in the national economies. On the path of its economic development, India has reached a level where there is predominance of service sector and it has become the mainstay of the growth process especially over the last ten years. Uniqueness and sudden growthpattern of service sector of India needs to be recognised, understood and analysed with its implications for long term development strategy and policy. It is against this backdrop, that the present study has been designed. It is an attempt to study the trends and implications of sectoral growth with special reference to service sector in India. The analysis brings out the fact that in comparison to the world scenario, growth of service sector in India is not so pronounced. The study has found that except for the service sector hardly any significant change can be identified in the growth performances of the other two sectors in the post-reforms period. A striking feature of India's development is that growth in Indian service sector is not accompanied by additional employment opportunities, which have brought structural imbalances. The results reveal trade hotel, transport and communication as one of the most contributing sector of service sector to GDP. The study emphasised that the services sector is one of the areas, where India needs to focus on sharply to increase its share in the global services trade. However, it is imperative that the industrial and agricultural sectors also grow rapidly but unfortunately till now; the relatively jobless nature of growth in India's services sector underscores this need.

Service sector in India has been growing at a rapid rate in recent years. Many view this as the service sector revolution, acting as an engine of economic growth of India. However, the sectoral transformation in the Indian economy has not been in tune with the structural transformation hypothesis propounded in development literature. It seems there are no studies, which empirically verified the structural shift in service sector growth, its impact on economic growth and the various determinants of its growth. The empirical analysis supports the modern view of structural transformation i.e. decline in the share of agriculture and industry and increase in the share of service sector in India. The structural shift analysis confirms that the sectoral growth trend has changed in favour of service sector after open policies have been initiated. Indian economic growth depends both on agriculture and industry, in spite of it being services led in 1990s. Our theoretical model suggests that apart from service sector growth, industry, agriculture and the open policies of 1990s also had positive impact on India's economic growth though, the service sector appears to contribute more. The sources of service sector growth in India appear to be income elasticity of demand, open policies and the growth in the service sectors like communications, business, banking and insurance and trade services. In view of these findings certain policy interventions are suggested.

FDI to developing countries in the 1990s was the leading source of external financing and has become a key component of national development strategies for almost all the countries in the world as a vehicle for technology flows and an important source of non-debt inflows for attaining competitive efficiency by creating a meaningful network of global interconnections. FDI provide opportunities to host countries to enhance their economic development and opens new opportunities to home countries to optimize their earnings by employing their ideal resources. India ranks fifteenth in the services output and it provides employment to around 23% of the total workforce in the country. The various sectors under the Services Sector in India are construction, trade, hotels, transport, restaurant, communication and storage, social and personal services, community, insurance, financing, business services, and real estate. The flow of FDI in Indian service sector is boosting the growth of Indian economy, this sector contributing the large share in the growing GDP of India. This sector attracting a significant portion of total FDI in Indian economy and it has shown especially in the second decade (2000 - 2010) of economic reforms in India. Is this contribution of FDI in this sector is stimulating the economic growth or not, this knowledge thrust of research scholar create the interest in conducting this study.  To study the FDI inflows in Indian Service Sector from 1991-2010.  To study the relationship between service sector growth and India economy. The study is based on secondary sources of data. The main source of data are various Economic Surveys of India and Ministry of Commerce and Industry data, RBI bulletin, online data base of Indian Economy, journals, articles, news chapters, etc. FDI to developing countries in the 1990s was the leading source of external financing and has become a key component of national development strategies for almost all the countries in the world as a vehicle for technology flows and an important source of non-debt inflows for attaining competitive efficiency by creating a meaningful network of global interconnections.

The aspects of foreign direct investment i.e. political scenario and trends are analyzed by most of the studies and they are, Bhattacharyya (1994), Jain (1994), Studies by Subramanian, et al. (1996) and Gopinath (1997) examined the determinants of FDI. Subramanian, et al. (1996) found that the availability of primary material inputs for manufacture and the large size of the domestic market for the sale of the manufactured products are the two principal economic determinant of location of FDI inflow. Other two factors that influenced the FDI are the growth rate of GDP and the level of infrastructure facility. Alvin and Wint (1992) Reviews the liberalization of FDI regulation in ten developing countries and concludes that there can be a disconnect between formal liberalization and the actual implementation of the screening process. Dornbusch and Park (1995), Observe that foreign investors pursue a positive feedback strategy, which makes stocks to overreact to change in fundamentals.

Health and education service sector in India our wide range of service provides an end-to-end solution to all our needs in the education sector.Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and just not the non existence of disease or aliment.The expansion of both health and education sector have made the advancement of service sector.Fisher and Colin Clark have divided the economy into primary sector, secondary sector and tertiary sector.Service sector activities include trade, commerce, transport, communication, hotel and restaurant, banking and finance, health and education, tourism, share market, film industry , insurance, astrology industry etc. India service sector accounts more than 50 per cent of India's Gross Domestic Product (G.D.P).There is a significant changes in sectoral contribution of each sector to india's GDP over a period of time.Share of other services and service sector in percent and the performance of growth rates of service sector and GDP.In the decades of year 1950-51 to 2010-11 1. Trade, hotel and restaurants.2. Transport, storage and communication.Transport includes roads and railways, airways and inland and overseas, water transport.3. Financial institutions, insurance, real estate and business services.4. Community, social and personal services.Community services include government establishment and it's departments and personal services such as health, and education, NGOs etc. Eventhough there is a thin margin in distinguishing between private sector and public services, because some services are being provided by both the sectors.We can classify the service sector activities coming under the both sectors.Private services include trade, commerce, transport, communication, hotel and restaurant, tourism, insurance, cinema, advertisement, sports, health and education, level service and NGOs etc. Government sector includes government establishment including legislature, executive, judiciary, its various departments at central and state government and its autonomous bodies and local bodies.

In the contemporary globalised economy, service sector attracts the major share of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the world. India being a part of this phenomenon also attracts most of its FDI in the service sector. The present paper highlights the trend in FDI movement in the world in general and India in particular. Further, it reviews the FDI policy in India in the post liberalized period. The growth of FDI in services sector may be attributed to the changing pattern of global FDI and also the liberalization and globalization policies pursued by India. Since 2000, the high inflow of FDI has resulted in the growth of new services viz., financial and non-financial services, telecommunication, computer software and hardware, hotel and tourism, construction activities and real estate. The growth of services sector had led to the growth of export of services from India which now accounts the majority of export from the country.

Service sector is the lifeline for the social economic growth of a country. It is today the largest and fastest growing sector globally contributing more to the global output and employing more people than any other sector. Services sectors have become more important in recent years as advances in technology have permitted new means of providing services across borders. The growth in output in the sector in recent times has mostly come from the rapid development of skill intensive services in the information technology and professional service segments, mostly oriented toward the external market. This study investigates to growth, contribution and development of services sector in Indian economy. Further this study discusses to economic policy and impact of services sector.

Service Sector Growth in China and India: A Comparison Yanrui Wu Since the early 1990s, the world has witnessed the spectacular growth of the economies of China and India (averaging 10.2 and 6.2 per cent annually from 1992 to 2005, respectively).1 Associated with this growth has been the dramatic development of the service sectors in the two Asian giants.2 However, a comparison of China's and India's economic structures demonstrates that the role of the service sector (or, the tertiary sector as it is known in China) is very different (see Figure 1). In India, the service sector has become the dominant contributor to the Indian economy, accounting for 54.2 per cent of GDP in 2004.3 The success in this sector is regarded as "India's services revolution".4 In China, however, the service sector has lagged well behind the manufacturing sector (or the secondary sector, according to Chinese terminology), though its role in the economy improved slightly in the last 15 years. From 1990 to 2004, the service sector as a proportion of China's GDP increased modestly from 34.3 per cent in 1990 to 40.7 per cent in 2004. Why have the two countries taken very different trajectories in developing their service economies? What are the implications for future development in the two Asian giants? Which factors affect demand for services in China and India? These are some of the questions which are investigated in this paper. To date there have hardly been any comparative studies of services in China and India. However, several studies have focused on the service sector in the individual countries. For example, Gupta and Mohan both examine productivity in the Indian service sector in comparison with other [End Page 137] Click for larger view Figure 1 GDP Shares by Sector in China and India, 1978–2004 [End Page 138] Asian economies. Chanda discusses service trade in the world, particularly in India, and its implications for the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations in services, while Gordon and Gupta present a detailed study explaining India's service growth in the past decade.5 Examples of studies on China include Li and Hou who produced an edited volume on China's WTO entry and the implications for the service sector, Jiang who edited a book focusing on growth and structural changes in services with some marginal coverage of international comparison, and Li who conducted a comprehensive investigation of China's service sector.6 Thus, it is the goal of this study to extend the existing literature by comparing the growth in and demand for services in China and India. First there is a brief review of developments in the service sector in China and India. This is followed by a discussion of the determinants of the demand for services. Three empirical models are employed to examine the factors affecting demand for services internationally, as well as in China and India. Subsequently, the article discusses the growth outlook for services in the two countries. The final section summarises the findings. Service Sector Development Following the conventional classification, an economy is divided into three sectors, that is, agricultural (or primary), manufacturing (or secondary) and service (or tertiary). The agricultural sector consists of farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries. The manufacturing sector is composed of mining, [End Page 139] construction and manufacturing.7 All other economic activities which are not covered by the agricultural or manufacturing sectors are broadly defined as services and hence belong to the service sector. They include services provided for the agricultural sector, activities associated with the supply of water, electricity and gas, transport and communications, wholesale and retail trade, finance and insurance, business and personal services, and community and social services. Services can be broadly distinguished between two types, that is, old and new. The old or traditional services include petty trading, domestic services, catering and hotel services. The new services are generally associated with communications, business and legal...

India's Service Sector – Shaping Future of Indian Retail Industry

Economic reforms have affected all sectors of Indian economy. Before reforms, the pace of economic growth was slow and the growth rate of gross domestic product (GDP) was imperceptibly above the population growth rate. After reforms, Indian economy has transformed relatively from stagnation to a dynamic stage due to growth in primary, secondary, and tertiary or service sectors. However, pattern of growth in agriculture, industry, and service sectors along with developments in the reforms and liberalization process shows that growth in agriculture sector has not increased substantially though other sectors, particularly service sector demonstrate the boost. Therefore, the objective of the paper is to examine the nature of growth and direction of different sectors namely agriculture, industry, and service sectors in India using growth models. Results indicate that contribution of agriculture sector in GDP is declining whereas the share of service sector is increasing. Further, analysis shows that contribution of industrial sector (in terms of share) in GDP seems approaching towards stagnation.

As one of the leading emerging economies, India is witnessing advancement and growth in leaps and bounds in this era of globalization. But this fast-paced growth is accompanied by a low level of engagement among service sector employees. Promoting work engagement among such employees can lead to better services and thereby lead to customer satisfaction. To address the work engagement issues in the service sector, the study aims to propose a conceptual model of antecedents and consequences of work engagement based on the revised job-demands resources (JD-R) model. The study suggests that since there is a contrast between the culture of the East and the culture of the West, there is a need for context-specific work engagement measures (rooted in an Indian ethos) tailored to the service sector in India. The researchers, therefore, suggest three new categories of antecedents of work engagement, namely, enlightened leadership, triguna, and social skills. Thus, these antecedents will enhance work engagement in the service sector in India. Enhanced work engagement will in turn lead to employee satisfaction, loyalty, service innovative behaviour, organization commitment, organization citizenship behaviour, psychological well-being, extra-role performance, enhanced performance of the workforce, and less attrition.

FDI offers a bundle of benefits such as financial and non-financial. FDI is one such source of long term international capital. Service sector is a largest sector of India economy. Since 1991, FDI inflows in India is on an increasing trend. The FDI Inflows in service sector increased from Rs.14803.91 crores during 1991-2000 to Rs.63909.44 crores in 2018-19. It showed positive response. The easiest and cheapest way to increase the capital is foreign direct investment. There is also increase in foreign currency resources. This paper discusses about the trends of FDI equity inflows in service sector in India, to study and analyze the trend of FDI equity inflows in sub-sector of service sector in India and to examine and analysis the relationship between total FDI equity inflows and FDI equity inflows in service sector in India during 2009-10 to 2018-19.

Services are tasks or functions, which are performed by a group or an individual, for which price is decided on the basis of demand if that particular service is available in the related market. Services are sometimes referred to as intangible goods. The consumption is done only at the point of production. Services are typically non-transferable that means they cannot be resold or purchased at a different price. In an economy the service sector plays a vital role in the resource allocation process. The service industry is not only the World’s largest industry, but also contributes major portion in GDP. It generates three times more employment as compared to the manufacturing sector. The contribution of the service industry to the GDP of countries like India is over 56.1% in 2015-16. In addition to this more than 50% of total export of services comes from export of software services in India. On the basis of this rapid growth in service sector growth rate will going to be more than 60 per cent in the next fifteen years in India. After China, India has got the second position as the fastest growing service providing country in the world. The present study is all about the analysis of the potential and capability of the service sector in the economic growth of the country over the last couple of decades. The main aim of this study is to see the correlation between the growth in the Indian service sector along with growth in the economy in terms of growth in GDP, per capita income and foreign investment.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the individual high-performance human resource practices (HPHRPs) and work engagement (WE) among the employees in the service industry in India.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected from a sample of 234 employees working in the service sector in India with the help of a survey questionnaire method. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the data. To test the hypothesized relationship, structural equation modelling was used.FindingsThe results revealed that five HPHRPs have a positive impact on the WE of employees in the service sector in India. Internal career opportunities negatively impact WE.Research limitations/implicationsThe study sample is limited to the service sector in India. Researchers are encouraged to study employee and organizational performance measures other than WE which could be impacted by high-performance work practices.Practical implicationsManagers seeking to strengthen WE could implement these HPHRPs in their firms operating in Indian service sector.Originality/valueThe paper is an attempt to provide empirical evidence on how the individual HPHRPs impacts WE in an organization. Earlier research has shown the impact of bundled HPHRPs on WE. Thus, this study is first to empirically test the direct relationship of individual HPHRPs with WE.

It is now a well-documented fact that the Indian economy has undergone a significant structural change in the last couple of decades. If one looks at the share of GDP contributed by agriculture, industry, and services sectors, it can be argued that in the early 1950–51, the Indian economy was basically an agro-based economy which has now emerged as predominant in the services sector activities. This change is likely to cause significant changes not only in the sphere of production and demand but also in the linkages among various sectors. This development has various ramifications for the overall growth and the process of development in the Indian economy. This paper seeks to analyze the reasons for this growth of services sector of India and consequent structural change in the economy for the period 1983–84 to 2011–12 and try to highlight its implication for the future economic development of India using input–output structural decomposition analysis (I-O SDA). It has been found that the major reasons for the growth of services sector are due to change in demand rather than change in technology and again it is the domestic demand which dominates over the foreign demand.
