                Question 30.
                \nBriefly explain how statistics helps to study economics.
                \nAnswer:
                \nStatistics plays a very important role in the field of economics. It helps in study of economics in many ways:<\/p>\n

                1. It helps to understand economic problems: By using various statistical tools, effort is being made to find the causes behind the economic problems with the help of qualitative and the quantitative facts. Once the causes of a problem are identified. it is easier to formulate certain policies to tackle them.<\/p>\n

                2. It enables an economist to present economic facts in a precise and definite form: Statistics help the economists to present economic facts with accuracy. It also helps in proper comprehension of that is stated in the subject matter. When economic facts are expressed in statistical terms. they become exact. Exact facts are more convincing than vague statements. For instance, saying 350 people have died in Kashmir unrest since 2000. is more accurate than saying that a lot of people have died in the unrest.<\/p>\n

                3. Helps in condensing mass data into a few numerical measures: Statistics condenses the mass data into a few numerical measures like mean, variance, correlation, etc. These numerical measures help to summarise data. For example, it would be impossible to remember the income of all the people of a country. But we can remember average income i.e., per capita income.<\/p>\n

                4. It is used to find relationships between different economic factors: An economist may be interested in finding out what happens to the demand for a commodity when its price changes or what will be impact on inflation, when the government has more budget deficits. Such situations can be dealt, if any relationship exists between the various economic factors. Here, the nature of relationship can be studied with the help of statistical tools.<\/p>\n

                5. It helps in formulation of plans and policies: Sometimes, formulating plans and policies require the knowledge of future trends. For instance, an economic planner has to decide in 2010 how much the economy should produce in 2016-17. In other words, one must know what could be the expected level of consumption in 2016-17. So. the statistical tools to predict consumption in 2016-17 could be based on the data of consumption of past years obtained by surveys.<\/p>\n

                Question 31.
                \nBriefly explain sampling errors.
                \nAnswer:
                \nSampling error refers to the differences between the sample estimate and the actual value of a characteristic of the population. It is the error that occurs when you make an observation from the samples taken from the population.<\/p>\n

                Thus, the difference between the actual value of a parameter of the population and its estimate is the sampling error. It is possible to reduce the magnitude of sampling error by taking a larger sample.<\/p>\n

                For example, suppose the height of 5 students (in inches) are 50, 55, 60, 65, 70. Now, the average height will be calculated by adding all these observations and dividing the sum by 5 . then we get 60 inches. If we select a sample of two students with height of 50 and 60 inches, then average height of sample will be 50 + 60 divided by 2, we get 55 inches. Here the sampling error of the estimate will be 60 (true value) minus 55 (estimate) = 5.<\/p>\n

                \nAnswer:
                \nThe raw data is classified in various ways depending on the purpose. Generally data can be classified as follows:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Chronological classification: When the data is grouped according to time, it is called as chronological classification, in such a classification, data are classified either in ascending or in descending order with reference to time such as years, quarters, months weeks days, etc.<\/li>\n
                • Spatial classification: If the data are classified with reference to geographical locations such as countries, states, cities, districts, etc., it is called spatial classification.<\/li>\n
                • Qualitative classification: When the data are classified on the basis of certain attributes or qualities like literacy, religion, gender, marital status etc., then it is called qualitative classification. These attributes can be classified on the basis of either the presence or the absence of a qualitative characteristic.<\/li>\n
                • Quantitative classification: If the classification of data is done on the basis of certain characteristics like height, weight. age, income, marks of students etc., it is called as quantitative classification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  \nThe following are the difficulties encountered during the construction of consumer price index:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Index numbers are not based on all items: As index numbers are generally based on a couple of sample, it is not possible to take into account each and every item in the construction of index.<\/li>\n
                  • Index numbers are not free from error: In every stage of the construction of index numbers, starting from selection of commodities to the choice of formulae there is a chance an error being introduced.<\/li>\n
                  • It is also said that, index numbers are also special type of averages, since the various averages like mean, median and mode and have their relative limitations which may lead to some errors.<\/li>\n
                  • Index numbers are meant for a particular purpose: An index number is used to measure the change for a particular purpose only.<\/li>\n
                  • Prices used in the construction of cost of living index are retail prices, which vary from shop to shop, place to place and consumer to consumer. Therefore, index numbers prepared on such prices cannot be used for different places or different classes of people.<\/li>\n
                  • Index numbers include so many commodities of unstable quality, which can not be used at different points of time.<\/li>\n
                  • The ratio of expenditure on different products at different points of time and by various persons are not same and they create difficulties in the construction of cost of living index numbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Question 35.
                    \nThe traditional handicraft industries were ruined under British rule.
                    \nAnswer:
                    \nYes, the traditional handicrafts industries were ruined under the British rule. The decline of the indigenous handicraft industries created not only massive unemployment in India but also a new demand in the Indian consumer market, which was now deprived of the supply of locally made goods.<\/p>\n

                    The British imposed heavy duties on Indian handicrafts, so that they became more expensive than British woolen and silk manufacturers. They followed a policy of duty free export of raw materials and import of finished goods. Apart from these, Indian handicrafts had to face competition from machine made goods from Britain.<\/p>\n

                    India could not develop a sound industrial base under the colonial rule. Even as the country\u2019s world famous handicraft industries declined, no corresponding modern industrial base was allowed to come up to take pride of place so long enjoyed by the Indians.<\/p>\n

                    The intention of British was to reduce India to the status of a mere exporter of important raw materials for the upcoming modem industries in Britain and to turn India into a market for their finished products of those industries, so that their continued expansion could be ensured to the maximum advantage of their home country.<\/p>\n

                    \nAnswer:
                    \nA small scale industry\u2019 is defined with reference to the maximum investment allowed on the assets of a production unit. A small scale industry is one where the investment is less than one crore rupees.<\/p>\n

                    Small scale industries play a very important role in the economic development of India. It is a known fact that small scale industries are more labour intensive i.e., they use more labour than the large scale industries and therefore, generate more employment.<\/p>\n

                    Apart from the above, the small scale industries require less capital as they are small units. They are free from industrial unrest. They also depend on indigenous resources and need not depend on foreign resources. Small scale industries were also given concessions like lower excise duty and bank loans at lower interest rates.<\/p>\n

                    Question 37.
                    \nBriefly explain the financial sector reforms.
                    \nAnswer:
                    \nThe financial sector consists of financial institutions like commercial banks, investment banks, stock exchange operations and foreign exchange market. The financial sector in India is regulated by the Reserve Bank of India. The RBI decides the amount of money that the banks can keep with themselves, fixes interest rates, nature of lending to various sectors, etc.<\/p>\n

                    The major objective of financial sector reforms is to reduce the role of RBI from regulator to facilitator of financial sector. That means, the financial sector ma be allowed to take decisions on many matters independent of RBI.<\/p>\n

                    The financial sector reform policies led to the establishment of private sector banks both Indian and foreign. Foreign investment limit in banks was raised to around 50%. The banks which fulfill certain conditions have been given freedom to set up new branches without the approval of the RBI. Foreign institutional investors (Fill) like merchant bankers, mutual funds and pension funds are now allowed lo invest in Indian financial markets.<\/p>\n

                          \nAnswer:
                          \nThe various indicators of human development are as follows:<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • Human development index: It consists of standard of living index, life expectancy at birth and educational attainment. If the HDI is high it is good indicator of human development.<\/li>\n
                          • Life expectancy at birth: It is the average number of years a person is expected to live. In other words, it is the longevity of life. A high value of life expectancy better indicates a quality human development.<\/li>\n
                          • Adult literate: It is the average number of persons who have reading and writing skills with basic local knowledge. It is expressed in percentages. The high literacy rate shows high human development.<\/li>\n
                          • GDP per capita: The gross domestic product per head is also one of the indicators of human development. The high value of GDP per capita indicates a better human development.<\/li>\n
                          • Infant mortality rate: It means the death of babies per thousand live births. If the IMR is high it indicates low human development.<\/li>\n
                          • Maternal mortality rate: It shows the death of mothers per 1 lakh live births. If MMR is low, it indicates a better human development.<\/li>\n
                          • Population using improved sanitation: If the percentage of population using improved sanitation is more, it is a good indicator of human development.<\/li>\n
                          • Population with sustainable access to improved water sources: If the percentage of population using sustainable access to improved resource is high, it is a good indicator of human development.<\/li>\n
                          • People living below poverty line: If less people are living below poverty line, then it is a good indicator of human development.<\/li>\n
                          • Percentage of children undernourished: If the number of undernourished children is diminishing, then \u00a1t is a good indicator of human development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            Question 41.
                            \nWhat is tabulation? What are the parts of table? Explain.
                            \nAnswer:
                            \nWhen data is represented in rows and columns, it is called tabulation. To construct a table, it is important to know the different components of a good statistical table. When all the components are put together systematically, they form a table.<\/p>\n

                            Tabulation can be done using one way, two way or three way classification depending upon the number of characteristics involved. A good table should have the following parts:<\/p>\n

                              \n
                            • Table number: Table number is given to a table for identification purpose. If more than one table is presented, it is the table number that distinguishes one table from another. It is given at the top or at the beginning of the title of the table.<\/li>\n
                            • Title: The title of the table gives about the contents of the table. It has to be very clear, brief and carefully worded, so information interpretations made from the table are clear and free from any confusion.<\/li>\n
                            • Captions: These are the column headings given as designations to explain the figures of the column.<\/li>\n
                            • Stubs: These are headings given to rows of the table. The designations of the rows are also called stubs or stub items and the left column is known as stub column.<\/li>\n
                            • Body of the table: It is the main part and it contains the actual data. Location of any one data in the table is fixed and determined by the row and column of the table.<\/li>\n
                            • Head note\/Unit of measurement: The units of measurement of the figures in the table should always be stated along with the title. If figures are large, they should be rounded off and the method of rounding should be indicated.<\/li>\n
                            • Source: It is a brief statement or phrase indicating the source of data presented in the table. If more than one source is there, all the sources are to be mentioned.<\/li>\n
                            • Note: It is the last part of the table, It explains the specific feature of the data content of the table which is not self explanatory and has not been explained earlier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                              Question 44.
                              \nExplain the important areas of liberalization.
                              \nAnswer:
                              \nLiberalization was one of the reforms of New Economic Policy of 1991. It was introduced to put an end to the restrictions and open up various sectors of the economy. The following are the important areas of liberalization:<\/p>\n

                              1. Deregulation of industrial sector: The liberalization policy removed many restrictions enforced on industrial sector. Industrial licensing was abolished for almost all but product categories like alcohol, cigarettes, hazardous chemicals, industrial explosives, electronics, aerospace and drugs and pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n

                              The only industries which are not reserved for the public sector are defence equipments, atomic energy generation and railway transport. Many goods produced by the small scale industries have now been de-reserved.<\/p>\n

                              2. Financial sector reforms: The financial sector consists of financial institutions like commercial banks, investment banks, stock exchange operations and foreign exchange market.<\/p>\n

                              The financial sector in India is regulated by the Reserve Bank of India. The RBI decides the amount of money that the banks can keep with themselves, fixes interest rates, nature of lending to various sectors, etc.<\/p>\n

                              The major objective of financial sector reforms is to reduce the role of RBI from regulator to facilitator of financial sector. That means, the financial sector may be allowed to take decisions on many matters independent of RBI.<\/p>\n

                              The financial sector reform policies led to the establishment of private sector banks both Indian and foreign. Foreign investment limit in banks was raised to around 50%. The banks which fulfill certain conditions have been given freedom to set up new branches without the approval of the RBI. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIT) like merchant bankers, mutual funds and pension funds are now allowed to invest in Indian financial markets.<\/p>\n

                              3. Tax reforms: These are the reforms which are concerned with government\u2019s taxation and public expenditure policies which are collectively known as its fiscal policy. There are two types of taxes, direct and indirect.<\/p>\n

                              Since 1991, there has been a continuous reduction in the taxes on individual incomes as it was felt that high rates of income tax were an important reason for tax evasion. It is now widely accepted that moderate rates of income tax encourage savings and voluntary disclosure of income.<\/p>\n

                              The rate of corporation tax (tax on income of companies) which was very high earlier has been gradually reduced. A new tax called Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been introduced from 1.7.2017 to bring uniformity in indirect taxes.
                              \nIn order to encourage better compliance on the part of tax payers, many procedures have been simplified and the rates also substantially lowered.<\/p>\n

                              4. Foreign exchange reforms: During 1991, the Government took an immediate measure to resolve the balance of payments crisis, the rupee was devalued against foreign currencies. This led to an increase in the inflow of foreign exchange. It also set the tone to free the determination of rupee value in the foreign exchange market from government control. At present, the market forces i.e., demand and supply, determine the exchange rates.<\/p>\n

                              5. Trade and investment policy reforms: A new trade and investment policy under liberalization strategy was made to increase international competitiveness of industrial production and a foreign investments and technology into the economy. The aim was also to promote the efficiency of the local industries and the adoption of modem technologies.<\/p>\n

                              To protect Indian industries, the government was following quantitative restrictions on imports which encouraged tight control over imports. At the same time, tariffs were very high. These policies reduced efficiency and competitiveness which led to a slower growth of manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n

                              The main objectives of Trade and Investment Policy were:<\/p>\n

                                \n
                              • To remove quantitative restrictions on imports.<\/li>\n
                              • To reduce quantitative restrictions in exports.<\/li>\n
                              • Reducing tariff rates.<\/li>\n
                              • Removal of licensing system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                Import licensing was abolished except in case of hazardous and environmentally sensitive industries. Quantitative restrictions on imports of manufactured consumer goods and agricultural products were also fully removed. Export duties have been removed to increase the competitive position of Indian goods in the international markets. A process of disinvestment was also initiated by selling of part of equity shares of public sector enterprises to the public.<\/p>\n

                                Question 45.
                                \nDiscuss the following as a source of Human Capital Formation.
                                \n(1) Expenditure of Education
                                \n(2) Expenditure on Health.
                                \nAnswer:
                                \n1. Health infrastructure: The various forms of health expenditures are as follows:<\/p>\n

                                  \n
                                • Preventive medicine vaccinations to prevent deadly diseases.<\/li>\n
                                • Curative medicine obtaining medical treatment during illness.<\/li>\n
                                • Social medicine spread of awareness about keeping good health and its importance.<\/li>\n
                                • Provision of clean drinking water and good sanitation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                  The healthy individuals are a food source of human capital as they directly contribute for regular and higher productivity of labour. A sick labourer without access to medical facilities has to remain absent from work. This leads to loss of productivity. Hence, expenditure on health is an important source of human capital formation.<\/p>\n

                                  2. Expenditure on migration: People migrate from their native places in search of jobs which may bring higher salaries. Unemployment is the only reason for rural-urban migration in India. Technically qualified persons like engineers and doctors migrate to other countries to earn better income.<\/p>\n

                                  Though there is a high cost of transport, high cost of living and other factors, the enhanced income will motivate people to migrate. Hence, expenditure on migration is also a source of human capital formation.<\/p>\n

                                  Question 46.
                                  \nWhat are the main causes of unemployment In India?
                                  \nAnswer:
                                  \nThe main causes for unemployment in India are as follows:<\/p>\n

                                  1. Population explosion: Rapid population growth is the leading factor responsible for unemployment in India. This has adversely affected the unemployment situation in two ways. Firstly, the growth of population has directly encouraged unemployment by making a large addition to the existing labour force. Secondly, the rate of job expansion could never be as high as the population growth would have required.<\/p>\n

                                  2. Season agricultural and backwardness of agricultural: In rural economy, agriculture is the main source of employment. However, most of the rural people are engaged directly and indirectly in agricultural operations. But, agriculture in India is basically a seasonal occupation. It provides employment only for certain months i.e., only during rainy days. During the rest of the period in a year, people would become unemployed.<\/p>\n

                                  3. Illiteracy and ignorance: Many people are illiterates and unskilled. They are not trained in accordance with the employment being generated. There is miss-match between the education industry and employment industry.<\/p>\n

                                  4. Slow growth: The growth of Indian economy is not at the expected level. The growth of GDP is still less than 7%. That means income which is being contributed to the national income generated through creation of employment opportunities is insufficient.<\/p>\n

                                  5. Lack of initiatives from government: In India, the government is inactive in creation of jobs. Rather, the government is indulging in disinvestment and closing Public Sector Industries due to industrial sickness. This is aggravating the problem of unemployment.<\/p>\n

                                  6. Low investment: There is a decline in the rate of investment due to lack of supportive atmosphere both in private and public sectors. This has slowed down the creation of new employment opportunities in India.<\/p>\n

                                  7. Orthodox nature of population: In India, majority of people are traditional and very orthodox and believe in blind beliefs. Many will be sticking on to some age old occupation even many though it has lost scope in the modem word. This has made them voluntarily unemployed.<\/p>\n
