India’s Growth Slowdown
This article examines the sources of rapid economic growth in India in the 2000s and explanations for the growth slowdown in more recent years. We use the Indian national accounts and the National Sample Survey (NSS) to perform a growth accounting analysis. We disaggregate the total economy into agriculture, industry and services and separately identify the contributions of labor, capital and improvements in productivity. Services account for the…
Accounting for Growth
Since 1980, China and India have achieved remarkable rates of economic growth and poverty reduction. The emergence of China and India as major forces in the global economy has been one of the most significant economic developments of the past quarter century. This paper examines sources of economic growth in the two countries, comparing and contrasting their experiences over the past 25 years. In this paper, we investigate patterns of economic gr…
Adapting Traditions
popular task. Social scientists, particularly sociologists, seem to place great value in small classes and group projects, especially in teaching research methods (Longmore, Dunn, and Jarboe 1996; Schutt, Orenstein, and Wagenaar 1987). Longmore, Dunn, and Jarboe (1996) present good suggestions for using group projects in classes of 30 to 60 students which results in six to 12 groups of five students. However, in our department, the sophomore-leve…
Minority Groups in the Economics Profession
The primary objective of this paper is to provide information about minorities (blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans)in economics, at various stages in the education pipeline, and in the labor market. Despite sustained increases in the numbers and percentages of minorities earning bachelors degrees and Ph.D.s, the absolute numbers remain very small--only about 36 new Ph.D.s per year, including permanent residents. Minority economists are relati…
On becoming more flexible
This paper examines the shift from fixed to more flexible exchange rate regimes among countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. In contrast to most traditional approaches, the one followed here recognizes that fixed rates can be and often are adjusted — but argues that policy makers incur a political cost from devaluation. At the same time, flexible exchange rates (even “managed” ones) may be very volatile, with persistent misalignment. A sty…
Policy Watch
As the Soviet Union and the countries in Eastern Europe take steps towards market economies and democratic political systems, the U.S. and other western countries have been confronted by a range of difficult and important questions about the appropriate economic policy response. What role should government policies play? How much assistance should be given? In what form? What actual policies have been undertaken? Are they a lot or a little? At on…
