Wage Inequality and Adverse Terms of Trade for Unorganised Sector:Dandekar’s Use of the Sraffa System
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Dandekar was one of the most remarkable economists of post-independence India. He is well known for his pioneering studies in the measurement of poverty. He was a student of Prof. P.C. Mahalanobis and established systems of large-scale sample surveys simultaneously with Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) based National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). He had his own perspective about the role and designs of NSSO surveys which he later implemented with the reorganization of NSSO.

- Note: [With these as prefatory/introductory remarks he considers two economies with the same underlying technical relations of production, but with different capacities or shortfalls to produce surpluses considered sector-wise. He deals with the argument about unequal exchange and exploitative trade relations in the economy. These examples also use Marxian values and Sraffa-type standard and non-standard system. However, it is much less concerned with use of Sraffa approach in Dandekar’s arguments; hence interested readers may read his critique of Emmanuel and Bettelheim in? the lecture (refer to pp. 52-72)].

- This would have been similar to Willi Semmler’s formulation of a diagonal matrix of Mark ups. A similar suggestion was made by P. Venkatramaiah and L. Aragade to represent differential mark-up in retail trade. (Ref. 1. Willi Semmler 2. P. Venkatramaiah. A. R. Kulkarni and Latika Argade. 1980, Regional Input·Output Matrices. India 1965).
