Does opinion really matter
India’s foreign trade policy has considerably evolved in the past 70 years. The trade policy choices reflect the changing rationale for using trade barriers over a period of time. In the past 27 years, anti-dumping (AD) measures have been used extensively among many trade instruments. India has filed 17% of the total global AD petitions, that is, 1130 out of 6582 cases between 1995 and 2022. The current study attempts to understand India’s AD pol…
Classification and Evaluation of Current Climate Vulnerability Assessment Methods
Productivity and Exports
The large share of the service sector and its status as a net exporter raise concerns about the sustainability of such growth for a developing economy like India. Given the context, the present article attempts to examine the productivity dynamics of the service sector in India at the industry level. We use the India KLEMS dataset to identify the trends in total factor productivity (TFP) growth and the growth in factor inputs. By uniquely combini…
Weather variation and temporary labor migration
The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between weather variation and temporary labor migration. In doing so, we investigate how labor migration is used as an adaptation strategy to weather variation for the select Indian semi-arid villages. We use crop yield deviation as a proxy variable for the weather variation at the household level. In order to investigate the objective of the study, we employ panel data of 210 households…
Inter-temporal differences in regional development
A comparison of major aspects of economic structure and access to resources (value added, consumption, diversity, sectoral shares, degree of urbanization, population with high-end skills and access to financial resources) for Indian regions (all states and union territories across the country with larger states divided into smaller and more comparable subregional units of NSS regions) between 2004–05 and 2011–12 identifies the factors that differ…
Does climatic risk induce labour migration? Evidence from Semi‐Arid Tropics region of India
The paper aims to focus on climatic risk as a potential determinant of temporary labour migration in Semi‐Arid Tropics (SAT) village in India for the year 2013–2014. Specifically, we address the question of how households use temporary labour migration as a coping mechanism to minimise the risk posed by climate variables such as drought, floods, cyclone etc. In doing so, the paper uses a binary choice model (logistic regression) to examine the po…
Analyzing the role of market share reallocation and average productivity improvements in aggregate productivity growth
This study attempts to empirically examine the importance of market share reallocation and average productivity improvements in driving aggregate productivity growth. By using Olley and Pakes, Econometrica, 1996, 64(6), 1263–1297 decomposition method, we show that aggregate productivity growth has mainly been driven by improvements in average productivity (with-in firm productivity improvement) and not reallocation during the post liberalization …
An Analysis of Sectoral Diversity in India and its Determinants
This article studies the degree of sectoral diversity across regions in India and examines its determinants. We construct a diversity index to represent sectoral diversity using information on the industry of work of the individuals across 14 industry sectors for 2011–2012 and compare with values for 2004–2005. We examine the relationship of diversity and indicators related to scale economies and skill intensity using ordinary least squares at a …
Impact of economic growth and population on agrochemical use
Mergers and acquisitions, technological efforts and exports
The paper attempts to examine the role of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and technological efforts in determining the export competitiveness of firms belonging to the pharmaceutical sector in India. M&A provides synergistic gains to firms. New competitive advantages arise from the complementarities of merging and acquiring firms' specific intangible assets like production skills, brand names and better management capabilities. These gains could a…
Introduction to innovation and global competitiveness
In the post-liberalization period, India has slowly but steadily tried to foster innovation to boost global competitiveness of the industrial sector. Since innovation in Indian industries for a lon
A Comparative Study of Technology and Industry Clusters of SMEs in India
This article attempts to compare the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) belonging to industry and technology clusters in India. They are compared in terms of the technological efforts, nature of competition, competitive strategy, outward orientation, research and development intensity and export intensity. First part of the article gives the economics of clustering and the second part analyses the inter-cluster differences, if any, between the f…
Agglomeration, Technology Clusters and Networks
Impact of Environmental Regulation on Technical Efficiency
There is a large concentration of chemical firms around Mumbai, and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board has been actively monitoring them. Such monitoring is likely to have an impact on the productive efficiency of these firms. The firms argue that additional costs to minimise environmental damage have reduced their efficiency. We try to find out whether these water-polluting firms in the chemical industry around Mumbai are actually unable to…
