Indian bank efficiency and productivity changes with undesirable outputs: A disaggregated approach

The objective of this study is to examine technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Indian banking sector over the period from 2004 to 2011. We apply an innovative methodological approach introduced by Chen et al. (2011) and Barros et al. (2012), who use a weighted Russell directional distance model to measure technical inefficiency. We further modify and extend that model to measure TFP change with NPLs. We find that the inefficiency levels are significantly different among the three ownership structure of banks in India. Foreign banks have strong market position in India and they pull the production frontier in a more efficient direction. SPBs and domestic private banks show considerably higher inefficiency. We conclude that the restructuring policy applied in the late 1990s and early 2000s by the Indian government has not had a long-lasting effect.     

Stakeholder harm index: A framework to review work intensification from the critical HRM perspective

This multiple disciplinary research attempts to theoretically develop a stakeholder harm index to capture and catalogue psychological, social and work related health aspects of harm of high performance work practices (HPWPs) on stakeholders (employees, their families and the community) from the negative externality perspective. An understanding of the harm of HPWPs will facilitate the role of sustainable HRM in improving the ethics of care for the stakeholders while achieving organizational financial performance. The usefulness of the stakeholder harm index in capturing the harm of an HPWP is illustrated using a review of the critical HRM literature on work intensification. Results from the literature review reveal that the stakeholder harm index provides an important framework for capturing the comprehensive harm and the associated social costs of work intensification based on welfare loss for the stakeholders. Empirical and practical implications to capture the harm and the associated social costs of harm are discussed.     

Optimal growth theory: Challenging problems and suggested answers

We argue that optimal economic growth is confronting serious applicability problems, having nothing to offer in these days of high public deficits accompanied by high unemployment rates. In particular, the theory is not capable of indicating optimal savings rates; those are systematically in ranges that can be considered as unacceptable, or are accompanied by unrealistically high real growth rates. Faulty is the systematic use of arbitrary utility functions, which turn out to be contradictory to competitive equilibrium. We then show how relying on the hypothesis of competitive equilibrium yields reasonable, perfectly acceptable numbers for the optimal savings rate.
