IntroductIon Jonathan Stern This is the first academic book in any language to be entirely devoted to the pricing of internationally traded gas. The majority of books on gas are notably silent on the issue of pricing.1 Given the sizeable amount of research dealing with international oil prices, this is extremely surprising and would alone be sufficient justification for this work, but there are additional reasons for believing that such a volume is long overdue. First, the growing importance of natural gas in energy balances world- wide, which is partly a function of the expansion of international gas trade. Second the rise to prominence and importance of natural gas issues – and especially pricing issues – in energy and political relations between countries.

College (Auto.), Bhawanipatna, Kalahandi, Odisha, India 2Department of Economics, Ravenshaw University, Cuttack, India 3IIT Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India Abstract The present study is an attempt to study the major causes of out migration in Kalahandi district of Odisha. The study is mainly based on primary data collected through semi-structured questionnaire from two blocks of the district, namely Golamunda and Narla with the total sample size of 300 households. In selecting the sample households, a proportionate sampling along with simple random sampling technique has been used. The study used descriptive statistics, percentage, ratio and cross tabulation to analyze the data. The major findings of the study show that most of the migrants (96%) in the study area are seasonal (or temporary) migrants while a few migrants (4%) are permanent migrants. Among the different social categories, the intensity of migration is highest among SC migrants. Besides, most of the migrants are in the age group of 41-50 and basically the illiterate or very low educated workers (0-5 years of education) are migrated in large number as compared to relatively higher educated workers. So far as place of migration is concerned most of the migrants are migrated to the interstates and very few of them are migrated to the inter districts.
