The Cambridge Economic History of Modern South Asia
South Asia's economies, as well as the scholarship on their economic histories, have been transformed in recent decades. This landmark new reference history will guide economists and historians through these transformations in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. Part I revisits the colonial period with fresh perspectives and updated scholarship, incorporating recent research on topics such as gender, caste, environment, and entrepreneurship. The cont…
Industry in the Post-independence Era
This chapter provides an analytic account of the evolution of India’s industrial sector in the context of the overall performance of the economy in the post-independence era. Since trade policy has had a determining impact on overall growth as well as on the structure of the industry, special attention is paid to it. The chapter first reviews the performance of the industry as a whole during the seventy years from 1951/1952 to 2019/2020, dividing…

(Wl 7177)-Poverty and Inequality in India
This paper offers four findings. First, rural poverty saw a modest decline despite the onset of COVID-19 in 2019-20 and fell as sharply in 2020-21 as it had in 2018-19. Rural poverty rose modestly only during the April-June 2020. Bumper crops in 2019-20 and 2020-21, expansion of MGNREGA, and free distribution of an additional 5 kilograms (kg) of food grain per person per month explain this trend in poverty. Second, urban poverty rose modestly in …
The Indian economy at 75
India became independent in 1947 and, beginning in 1950, it adopted a democratic constitution and a socialist development model that relied heavily on protectionism, promotion of heavy industries by the public-sector and strict controls on private investment through licensing. While democracy flourished, the economy languished. After three decades in 1980, per-capita incomes had risen barely more than 50%. This failure led to a very gradual proce…
New India
Its GDP having touched $2.6 trillion, India is poised to become the world’s third-largest economy in less than a decade. In doing so, it will have moved one step closer to reclaiming its pre-1820s glory, when it accounted for one-sixth of global output and ranked second in economic size. This rapid movement in the absolute size of the economy will be insufficient, however, to bring prosperity to India’s vast population. Today, 44 percent of the c…
The Link between Manufacturing Growth and Accelerated Services Growth in India
The impact of trade liberalization on manufacturing growth has been widely studied in the literature. What has gone unappreciated is that accelerated manufacturing growth has also been accompanied by accelerated services growth. Using firm-level data from India, we find a positive spillover from manufacturing growth to gross value added, wages, employment, and worker productivity in services, especially in large urban firms and in service sectors…
The Making of Miracles in Indian States
State Level Reforms, Growth, and Development in Indian States
With a population of 1.2 billion, India is many countries. Ten of its states have populations equaling or exceeding that of the United Kingdom. Therefore, to understand fully the current experiment in economic reforms in the country, we must study it at the level of the state. In this spirit, the present book provides the first-ever comprehensive analysis of how the national reforms have shaped the economies of different states in India. It shows…
A Comprehensive Analysis of Poverty in India
This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of poverty in India. It shows that no matter which of the two official poverty lines is used, poverty has declined steadily in all states and for all social and religious groups. Accelerated growth between fiscal years 2004-2005 and 2009-2010 led to an accelerated decline in poverty rates. Moreover, the decline in poverty rates during these years was sharper for the socially disadvantaged groups relative…

The Miracles of Globalization
The Muddles over Outsourcing
Critics have muddled the public debate over offshore outsourcing by using the term interchangeably to refer to altogether different phenomena such as on-line purchase of services, direct foreign investment and, sometimes, all imports. We argue that clarity requires distinguishing among these various phenomena and define outsourcing explicitly as the services trade at arm's length that does not require geographical proximity of the buyer and the s…

New Dimensions in Regional Integration
Open Economies
The interaction between macroeconomic and agricultural sector reforms is of vital importance to developing and East European economies, whose agricultural sectors account for major shares of economic activity and income. Derived from a conference organised jointly by the Centre for Economic Policy Research and the OECD Development Centre, the papers in this volume adopt an open economy perspective to reform, and throw light on the sequencing of r…

Growth and Welfare in a Small, Open Economy
The literature on trade and provides several examples in which factor augmentation or technical progress can reduce the welfare of an open economy. The most famous example of such growth is Bhagwati's (1958) demonstration that that expands the export industry can reduce welfare by causing the terms of trade to deteriorate. More recently, examples have been provided in which due to either factor expansion or technical progress in the presence of d…
