“…Both coefficients of the modern technology are higher, leaving the question whether the new technology is labor saving. Observations in many countries document that in the course of modernizing of the agricultural sector migration into cities can be observed, which indicates that agricultural technical progress is labor saving (Bhandari and Ghimire 2016). Therefore, we assume that L m < L t .…”

The concept of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) was established, back in the 1930s, to address “optimal” water management, mainly from a technical perspective, but also taking into account social goals, such as the fulfillment of basic needs and the total welfare of the population. The chapter provides a comprehensive overview of issues related to IWRM. After a discussion of the various economic dimensions of water, we establish a basic model to analyze the value of water under different social welfare objective functions, including the human right to water. The technical-economic model also addresses questions of eco-hydrology, water recycling, groundwater management, and water quality management. The chapter also addresses water allocation along rivers and water transfers between watersheds. The chapter includes exercises and suggestions for further reading.

“…It is important to note that some international research, particularly in places that tend to serve global economic development rather than grow rich from it-for example from rural parts of Asia and Latin America (e.g. Azaola, 2012;Barney, 2012;Bhandari & Ghimire, 2016; Brown, Scrase & Granguly-Scrase, 2017)-foregrounds economic motivators and constraints, examining young people who are propelled away from their rural communities in search of jobs and remittance income as the economies of their home communities restructure and globalize.…”

The economic crash in Iceland created a sense of social and political collapse that extended far beyond the economic realm. Calls for a “New Iceland” were invoked, where the Icelandic political arena would be “cleaned” and reimagined in drastic ways. In this article, I explore how ideas circulating in the wider European region about how Icelanders dealt exceptionally well with the crisis not only failed to reflect the lived effects of the collapse but also echoed long-standing nationalist ideals of Icelanders’ imagined reality of themselves. I show how nation branding in Iceland after 2010 added to the conception that Iceland dealt with the crisis in an exceptional way, and I critically ask why Iceland received such a positive depiction in the international media.

“…Recently, Chitwan has experienced dramatic changes in population mobility, transitioning from a frontier destination for in-migrants from surrounding hill districts of Nepal to one of the country's major migrant-sending districts (Bhandari, 2004;Bhandari & Ghimire, 2016). According to 2011 census, as many as 29% (27% for Nepal) of the households reported that at least one member was absent from household.…”

Studies on migration in Nepal primarily focused on the causes of migration, in general. While a few studies examined the remittances received or sent by migrants, there is little information about the variation in remittances received by households by migrant's destination. Thus, this exploratory study attempts to answer: Does the extent to which households receive remittances vary by migrant's destination? Using the data collected in 2013 from the western Chitwan Valley of Nepal, the findings from multivariate analysis reveal that net of controls, both the receipt (whether a household received any remittance or not) as well as the amount of remittances received by a household varied by migrant's destination. Evidence suggests that households are less likely to receive remittances from migrants working in India (a country of low earning potential) as compared to those working in Nepal. On the other hand, households received significantly more amount of remittances from migrants working in countries with high earning potentials (such as Middle East, East or South East Asia, and America, Australia and Europe) as compared to the domestic migrants who were working inside of Nepal but outside of Chitwan. Adjusting for other factors, the largest amount of remittances was received from migrants working in the East or South East Asian countries (e.g. South Korea, Malaysia, Japan) followed by those in America, Australia, and Europe and the Middle East. The insights gained from this exploratory study are discussed.
