    Besides India, there are a few other countries like Mexico, Spain, Pakistan, Bangladesh and China which also make intensive use of groundwater. This highlight reviews groundwater institutions and policies in these countries, with a special focus on the interlinkages between energy and groundwater. It finds that while there are useful lessons from international experience, none of the other countries offer unmetered electricity to farmers as India does. It is this lack of energy accounting and resistance to metering that is at the heart of the invidious energy-irrigation nexus in India.

    This study investigates timber demand in Bangladesh. In evaluating timber demand, the significant contributing factors like forest land cover, frequency of furniture manufacturing, price of timber substitute, population growth and railway density have been examined. Panel data over a longer period for a developing country like Bangladesh were not easily available. The data sources were very sporadic for the study — there was no common data pool. A panel dataset over a 17-year period was simulated and analyzed for the study.

    Measuring the poverty and distributional
    impact of the global crisis for developing countries is not
    easy, given the multiple channels of impact and the limited
    availability of real-time data. Commonly-used approaches are
    of limited use in addressing questions like who are being
    affected by the crisis and by how much, and who are
    vulnerable to falling into poverty if the crisis deepens?
    This paper develops a simple micro-simulation method,
