“…According to the study, per capita GDP inflection points range between $7,7418.74 and $13,666.83. Sinha et al (2021) found that the risk of death tended to decrease with a further increase in GDP per capita in India. In the study, the GDP threshold value was calculated as ₹190,000-₹195,000.…”

The increase in transportation and travel demands leads to the development of social welfare, and on the other hand, it may adversely affect socio-economic indicators such as death, injury, air pollution and budget deficit. Every day, thousands of people are killed, injured, or disabled due to road accidents around the world. The high cost of fatal and non-fatal road accidents to national economies is important in terms of policies to be implemented. This study aims to examine the relationship between road accidents and income levels in 22 OECD countries. Poisson Regression, Negative Binomial, and Quantile Regression Fixed Effect were used in model estimation. In addition, the convergence of traffic accident deaths for 34 OECD countries was investigated. Fractional frequency unit root test with structural break was used for convergence analysis. The findings of the study show that there is an inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship between road accident deaths and per capita income. In addition, while the increase in health expenditures reduces the number of deaths due to traffic accidents, the increase in alcohol consumption increases these deaths. The results obtained from the convergence analysis indicates that 21 OECD countries converge to the OECD average, but 13 countries do not converge.

The present study investigates whether there is any evidence of club convergence for incidence of per capita road accidents across Indian states. The study uses the quantitative technique of the Phillips and Sul convergence approach to discover state convergence patterns based on the per capita accident cases. Although the findings suggest a divergence for aggregate panel of states, but there is existence of convergence among few states together as a group. Furthermore, our analysis shows a divergence in the number of road accident cases in both urban and rural areas, but there is evidence of club convergence across states in both urban and rural areas. The divergence finding clearly indicates that traffic accidents occur more often in certain states. The government must pay attention and should come up with more stringent policy to reduce the cases of road accidents in India. JEL Codes: R4, R41

Road Traffic Crashes in Up’s Metropolitan Cities: A Public Health Scourge

Fatalities and injuries on account of road traffic crashes are a public health scourge of rising concern in the metropolitan cities of Uttar Pradesh (UP) in India. While in many Indian cities, including Delhi, the situation is generally improving, UP’s cities face a deteriorating situation. Currently, road traffic accidents on UP’s city roads claim 29% more lives, in comparison to the past decade. Hence, there is an urgent need to take cognizance of this increasingly alarming problem and take requisite measures to arrest this situation. Particular interventions like legislation enforcements for controlling vehicle speed, use of seatbelts, helmets, design of safer roads, construction of separate paths for two-wheelers and segregated green modes for bicycles and pedestrians, promotion of public transport, and setting up of emergency trauma care networks have immense potential to decrease the prevalence and impact of road traffic crashes in the metropolitan cities of UP.
