  • An Alternative approach to measure HDI 
    Nathan, Hippu Salk Kristle; Mishra, Srijit; Reddy, B. Sudhakara (2012-05-29)
    The popularly known Human Development Index (HDI) is obtained through linear averaging (LA) of indices in three dimensions - health, education and standard of living. LA method assumes perfect substitutability among the ...
  • A Conceptual framework for development of sustainable development indicators 
    Nathan, Hippu Salk Kristle; Reddy, B. Sudhakara (2012-05-30)
    There was a boom in the development of sustainable development indicators (SDIs) after notion of sustainability became popular through Bruntland Commission’s report. Since then numerous efforts have been made worldwide ...
  • Energy in the development strategy of Indian households- the missing half

    There is a growing consensus that universalisation of modern energy services is central to reducing major elements of poverty and hunger, increasing literacy and education, and improving health care, employment opportunities, ...
  • Energy infrastructure for a high humane and low carbon future 
    Reddy, B. Sudhakara; Nathan, Hippu Salk Kristle (2012-06-01)
    Presently India is facing the twin challenge of energy universalization as well as emission reduction. Nearly 0.4 billion people in India– mostly residing in rural areas– do not have access to electricity and more than ...

  • Measuring human development index: The Old, the new and the elegant 
    Mishra, Srijit; Nathan, Hippu Salk Kristle (2013-10)
    The Human Development Index (HDI) is calculated using normalized indicators from three dimensions-health, education, and standard of living (or income). This paper evaluates three aggregation methods of computing HDI using ...
  • On a class of human development index measures 
    Mishra, Srijit; Nathan, Hippu Salk Kristle (2012-05-31)
    Using Minkowski distance function we propose a class of Human Development Index measures. Special cases of this turn out to be the popularly used linear average method as also a newly proposed displaced ideal method. Two ...
  • On measuring group differential: Some further results 
    Nathan, Hippu Salk Kristle; Mishra, Srijit (2012-05-29)
    We impose a value judgment that a decrease in failure should be accompanied by a decrease in gap (difference or ratio) between sub-groups. In other words, the same gap at lower levels of failure is to be considered worse ...
