Economics area to host seminar on ‘Conflicts and Consumption’ on 10th July

Session to be led by Prof. Rohan Gudibande, Krea University

9 July, 2025, Bengaluru: The Economics area of IIM Bangalore will host a seminar on, ‘Conflicts and Consumption’ to be led by Prof. Rohan Gudibande, Krea University, from 2.30 pm on 10th July 2025, at P-22.

Abstract: Land acquisition is a commonplace and much debated policy for the developing countries due to opposing views on adequacy of compensation, held by the government and land-owning households. Theories abound as to what would be a good design for compensation. But the empirical question remains open – how do households respond in terms of consumption when they disagree about the quantum of compensation? The research estimates consumption responses of households in quasi-randomized setups with six different events of land acquisition-related conflicts in India between 2018 and 2019. Household-level consumption increases when the conflict arises due to disagreement about the level of monetary compensation (three cases of conflict), does not change in other cases where the demand is for higher non-monetary compensation (residual three cases of conflict). Current income does not change and borrowing for consumption goes down post the conflicts. The researchers theorize that this increase in consumption reflects expectation about future income in the form of higher compensation with negligible downside risk. Overall, this paper presents a novel scenario where conflicts are associated with increases in consumption of the parties involved in the conflict.

About the speaker: Dr. Rohan Gudibande is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the School of Interwoven Arts and Sciences, Krea University. Prior to this, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at ESOC, Princeton University. He did his PhD in Development Economics from the Graduate Institute, Geneva. His current research aims to understand the outcomes (both pecuniary and non-pecuniary) and mechanisms of development in relation to events or processes driving different conflicts, crime and related frictions that organize individual incentives, identity and behavior.
