Budget 2026–27 and Coping with the Emerging Economic Challenge
Stable fiscal ratios, high growth and low inflation portray India as a haven of stability and calm in a very turbulent world. However, this may well be a calm before the storm. The stable fiscal ratios notwithstanding, fiscal space is shrinking, which handicaps the country in coping with the economic shock which is expected in the wake of the Iran war and Iran’s chokehold on supplies through the Hormuz Straits. An expansionary fiscal policy, comb…
An Employment-centred Perspective of Development
Given an observed trade-off between maximising GDP growth and maximising employment growth, the paper starts by posing the question: growth of what? Based on a review of global and Indian experience in these dimensions of development, the paper proposes a three-pillar strategy of employment centered development. First, short run policy incentives to accelerate growth of labor-intensive sectors outside agriculture. Second, University Technical Col…
Budget 2025-26-wl-3491-Trade-off between Fiscal Consolidation and High Employment-intensive Growth
A large reduction in government capital expenditure growth in 2024–25 and 2025–26 to meet fiscal deficit targets primarily accounts for the recent decline in growth, since capex growth is a key driver of GDP growth. The greater flexibility of the new debt-to-GDP related fiscal consolidation framework should be exploited to restore high government capex and GDP growth. Fiscal incentives to accelerate growth of large, employment-intensive sectors l…

The competing interests of winners and losers, and the ‘public good’ nature of many resource uses, makes it challenging to provide resource security in a benign and equitable manner. Power relations are key in determining compensation outcomes, and in particular the importance of countervail…

The agrarian barrier to industrial growth
It is argued here that in transitional economies industrial growth depends not so much on the size of the agricultural surplus but rather on the rates of productivity growth and population growth in agriculture via their effects on the size of the home market for manufactures. In developing this argument estimates of the agricultural surplus and inter‐sectoral market shares in post‐restoration Japan and post‐independence India are compared. A typ…
