POLICY ANALYSIS FOR RURAL POVERTY—AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

Abstract

Poverty situation and problems of development in a remote village of U.P., India are briefly outlined. The dynamics of the situation are represented in the form of a multi‐loop system. Problems of development are seen as outcomes of malfunctioning feedback cycles. Disaggregation of salient variables of the multiloop system serves to identify the empirical dimensions of the problem situation and corresponding control policy requirements. A binary matrix procedure is utilized for deriving the relative importance of problem dimensions and policy measures.
