Beyond Material Comfort: A Community-Centric Housing Model (Coll ines) to Address Loneliness Among Financially Secure Older and Single Adults Abstract Material prosperity does not guarantee emotional well-being. A growing segment of financially secure middle-class individuals—particularly those aged 55 and above, parents with children settled abroad, and unmarried adults—experience chronic loneliness, weakened social bonds, and declining psychological health. This paradox reflects a structural transformation in family systems, urban housing design, and migration patterns rather than an economic deficiency. This paper develops a structured socio-economic and psychological analysis of loneliness among financially stable populations and proposes an innovative housing framework — the Colinese One-Room Community Living Model . The model integrates private micro-units with structured shared facilities to foster companionship, security, affordability, and purposeful engagement. The pape...
Architecture of Demand and Supply: Behavioral Patterns, Forces, SECTORAL and Analytical Models"
Purpose of the Book
The purpose of this book is to offer
a transformative and in-depth approach to the understanding of demand
and supply by integrating behavioral economics, sectoral differentiation,
and quantitative analysis. It aims to challenge conventional, linear
thinking in economics by showcasing how demand and supply operate as dynamic,
multi-layered forces influenced by both rational and irrational behaviors,
sectoral constraints, and systemic policy environments.
✅
Objectives
- To Redesign Classical Models:
Enhance traditional demand and supply frameworks by incorporating complex real-world variables, behavioral factors, and feedback loops that reflect actual economic behavior. - To Integrate Behavioral Insights:
Explain how psychological drivers, social cues, emotional responses, and heuristics influence the patterns of both consumers and producers in economic systems. - To Apply Sectoral Contexts:
Examine demand and supply through the lens of key economic sectors (agriculture, manufacturing, services, digital economy, public goods, etc.) for greater relevance and specificity. - To Promote Quantitative Thinking:
Strengthen the reader’s understanding of how to use data analysis, regressions, forecasting, and econometric models to interpret demand-supply dynamics effectively. - To Bridge Academic Rigor with Practical Application:
Combine theoretical exploration, practical case studies, and problem-solving exercises to make the content useful for both classroom learning and policy design.
📑
Proposal Summary
This book proposes a next-generation
blueprint for teaching and applying demand and supply concepts in a world
where economic behavior is increasingly shaped by uncertainty, information
asymmetry, and human complexity.
It is not just a textbook,
but a strategic guide—built on academic insight, applied analytics, and
practical decision-making.
Key highlights include:
- Behavioral interpretations of consumer/producer choices
- Quantitative models and regression analysis for
demand-supply studies
- Chapter-end real-world caselets and sectoral problem
sets
- Sector-focused illustrations on price elasticity,
external shocks, and market interventions
- Policy recommendations for inclusive and resilient
economic planning
👥
Ideal Readers
- Undergraduate and Postgraduate Economics &
Management Students
- Policy Analysts and Government Think Tanks
- Corporate Strategy Teams and Market Researchers
- Academic Scholars and Research Fellows
- Competitive Exam Aspirants (UGC-NET, UPSC, RBI, etc.)
✍️ Final Note from the Author
"This book emerges from years
of academic experience and a phase of deep personal introspection. In my
journey as an unemployed but active economics student, this work is my
way of contributing, meaningfully bringing the discipline closer to the people,
to policy, and to purpose."
— Dr. Mamta Vyas
