| Summary/Abstract |
India remains the world’s largest producer and consumer of milk. The present study empirically evaluates the transformations in demand and supply of dairy products in India, identifying that the share of dairy products in the food basket has significantly increased among both rural and urban consumers. While demand for dairy products is highly elastic and related to income, the analysis also shows large regional disparities in production and per capita availability of milk in India. After examining various aspects of dairy consumption and production patterns in India, the article also includes policy considerations to improve dairy production. It suggests that to stimulate dairy sector development and reduce inequality in dairy products consumption in India, milk and milk products should be included in the diet provided through the Midday Meal Schemes for primary education children. Overall, to meet the growing demand for dairy products, given their role in food security, the Government of India should continue to aim for sustained growth.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper addresses the relationship between the level of violence and the opium market in Afghanistan's provinces. We first provide an overview of the nature and extent of the Afghan drug trafficking. This is followed by a vector autoregressive analysis of the nexus opium-insurgency activities using monthly time-series data on opium prices and the number of security incidents for 15 Afghan provinces over the period 2004-2009. We use a multifactor error structure, the common correlated effect, to include unobservable common factors; Impulse Response functions to describe the time path of the dependent variables in response to shocks; and the mean group estimator to summarize our results across the provinces. Results suggest a conflict-induced reduction in opium prices, while the reverse opium-violence mechanism is mostly negligible. Moreover, unobservable common factors are the main drivers of opium prices and violence.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper examines the impact of migration experience of village leaders on local economic development, based on the village-level data of the 2005 China General Social Survey. Our results show that the human capital of village leaders accumulated during the migration period has had a positive effect on per capita net income and per capita non-agricultural income in rural China. The migration experience of village leaders also plays a positive role in entrepreneurial activities in rural regions. From a policy perspective, these findings call attention to the importance of harnessing potential benefits of return migration to local economic development in rural China.

| Summary/Abstract |
Evidence from sample surveys and local field studies have long supported opposed arguments about the impact of market reform on the value of political office in the rural economy. This article reviews the evidence, describes a gradual convergence in findings, and identifies unresolved questions about qualitatively different local paths of development. Examining previously unexploited data from a nationally representative 1996 survey, a resolution of the remaining issues becomes evident. The value of political office initially is very modest, as the first private entrepreneurs reaped large incomes. However, subsequent economic development led to rapid increases in the earning power of cadres and their kin, and by the end of the Deng era the returns to political office were roughly equal to those of private entrepreneurs. The political advantages were not limited to regions that industrialized rapidly under collective ownership: they were large even in regions where the private economy was most extensive. However, despite evidence of large and enduring political advantages, those who reaped wealth from political position were only a small fraction of the newly rich, the vast majority of whom achieved wealth without current or past office-holding or kinship ties to cadres.

| Summary/Abstract |
Aggregate growth numbers for India present a positive outlook as its economic momentum builds back and the economy displays full recovery following the Covid-19 crisis. It consequently reflects the Indian economy’s underlying resilience and ability to resuscitate its overall growth, driven by the rebound in private consumption despite the strong global headwinds and widening external deficits. However, its rural economy indicators point to a contradictory set of circumstances since this segment has been afflicted with persistently stagnant real wage growth in agricultural and non-agricultural occupations. It is further accompanied by the pileup of past debt for this section of the population, accumulated in the slowdown years of the post-demonetization phase, which has resulted in a continual weakening of rural consumption demand. The purpose of this research note is to provide a preliminary review of a deep-rooted crisis in India’s rural economy. This crisis is not merely an outcome of Covid-induced and inflationary factors, but rather dates back to the post-demonetization period. The data uncovers an enduring vicious spiral for the rural population group that not only questions the consumption stimulus to growth, but also imperils the resilience and economic prospects of the Indian economy.

The recent land use policy ol' "landing the l')eere;tse in Rural ('onxtrttelion Land with the Increase in L.'rh:tn ("onxtruetion l.and" i.\ an attempt of the government to address the tensions between protecting arable land and providing land lior construction by means of more intensive use of land. Nevertheless. the implementation ol" the policy has triggered notch controversy. in particular about predominant dependence upon retrial residential land totes consolidation and the pursuits of rural~ urban construction land quota transfer. Although local governments often take the blame for these issues. the case study of the comprehensive land consolidation project in Gull reveals the type of dilemma with which they are confronted. [t is shown that the potential for land consolidation is limited. whereby local governments have to turn to rural residential land consolidation to achieve the targets set by the central government for land consolidation. Furthennorc. the displacement and resettlement of rural dwellers puts tremendous financial pressure upon the local government. and it would be impossible to implement the central government mandate to build a new socialist countryside without selling land at a higher price. This article discusses the possibilities for a market-led land consolidation process and concludes that the targets of land consolidation and the implementation of the linking policy should \-'ar_v from region to region to match local levels of economic development and specifieities of the rural economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article applies a political economy approach to questions of presidential succession in Central Asia. Using the cases of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, it examines how institutions governing rural economies generate, channel and distribute rents within these authoritarian regimes. In some, these institutions concentrate rents under long-standing rulers; in others they diffuse rents away from rulers. The article then specifies obstacles to leadership change that arise from these rural economies, and the crises those obstacles may pose for authoritarian regimes in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper is concerned with the interaction between transport improvements and the rural economy. An institutional approach, based primarily on the new institutionalism theory, was used as the theoretical basis for the analysis. Using the evidence from Ambeso Village of Tana Toraja District, Indonesia, the paper examines the way transport improvements have been introduced and provided opportunities for positive change as well as individual responses to these opportunities. The paper ends by emphasising the role of institutions in the interaction between transport and the rural economy and the need for transport policy and research to transcend its traditional boundaries and address the complexities of institutions and institutional change.
