| Summary/Abstract |
Even though both empirical studies and field evidences show that Bt cotton can significantly reduce pesticide use, Chinese farmers are still spraying excessive pesticide in field production. Based on primary household surveys in the North China Plain, this study shows that farmers' lack of knowledge on pest management and pesticide use is strongly correlated with their excessive pesticide use. According to this study, improving farmers' awareness and knowledge could potentially reduce pesticide use by 10-15%. The paper concludes with policy implications.

| Summary/Abstract |
There is an ongoing debate about whether microfinance has a positive impact on education and health for borrowing households in developing countries. To understand this debate, we use a survey designed to meet the conditions for propensity score matching (PSM) and examine the impact of household credit on education and healthcare spending by the poor in peri-urban areas of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. In addition to matching statistically identical non-borrowers to borrowers, our estimates also control for household pre-treatment income and assets, which may be associated with unobservable factors affecting both credit participation and the outcomes of interest. The PSM estimates show a significant and positive impact of borrowing on education and healthcare spending. However, further investigation of the effects of the treatment reveals that only formal credit has a significant and positive impact on education and healthcare spending, while informal credit has an insignificant impact on spending. This paper contributes to the limited literature on peri-urban areas using evidence from one of the largest and most dynamic cities in Southeast Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
Indians have now become habitual of increasing their income and their expenditure. Since the inception of the New Economic Policy in 1991, Indian's income increased many fold and in this condition when they started falling of the employment and thereby income, they started showing the signs of restlessness. That is quit natural. Because of the slowdown world wide and mismanagement of the economy at home, exports started falling and imports increasing, putting immense pressure on the economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
What determines when states adopt war taxes to finance the cost of conflict? We address this question with a study of war taxes in the United States between 1789 and 2010. Using logit estimation of the determinants of war taxes, an analysis of roll-call votes on war tax legislation, and a historical case study of the Civil War, we provide evidence that partisan fiscal differences account for whether the United States finances its conflicts through war taxes or opts for alternatives such as borrowing or expanding the money supply. Because the fiscal policies implemented to raise the revenues for war have considerable and often enduring redistributive impacts, war finance-in particular, war taxation-becomes a high-stakes political opportunity to advance the fiscal interests of core constituencies. Insofar as the alternatives to taxation shroud the actual costs of war, the findings have important implications for democratic accountability and the conduct of conflict.

| Summary/Abstract |
In recent weeks, an increasing number of analysts and commentators have been referring to an actual or looming economic crisis in Russia. Many compare recent developments, and especially the likelihood of a further deterioration this year, with the Russia economic crisis of August 1998. This comparison is exaggerated at best. It also distracts from the real issue that threatens the country's future economic prospects.

| Summary/Abstract |
A trend setter in Asia up to the sixties, economic management in Pakistan has steadily
deteriorated to the point where the economy has, for the past few decades, lurched
from one financial crisis to the next. At the heart of the problem has been the poor
management of public finances and deep-seated unresolved structural issues in the
economy that bad management and poor governance has exacerbated. The consequences of this secular decline in economic governance are plain to see: macroeconomic instability, high inflation, poor public services, criminal neglect of the social sectors, widespread corruption, crippling power outages, growing unemployment, deepening poverty and a deteriorating debt profile.
