Contributions to Indian Economic Analysis: A Survey

Any survey of contributions to economic analysis in India, even though confined to the post-war years and to issues arising from domestic economic events and policy, runs into exceptional difficulties. Not only has practically every conceivable problem been raised and discussed by economists, in a country where interest in economic issues dates back at least to the latter half of the 19th century; but there have also been numerous committees and commissions whose report have led to a voluminous literature. Ruthless selectivity has thus been inevitable. We have generally focussed, in this survey, on contributions which meet the following criteria: (1) they should have analytical interest, either theoretical or empirical; (2) they should be made by Indian or India-based economists; and (3) they should have some bearing on Indian economic policy issues, even though they cannot necessarily be demonstrated to have arisen in consequence thereof or to have had any impact on policymaking. The Survey thus rules out of consideration the vast bulk of official literature, whose analytical base is frequently largely minimal, as also the purely descriptive and institutional material from non-official sources (such as the Indian Statistical Institute) whose utility otherwise is not to be minimized. Equally, the Survey does not extend to the growing numbers of contributions to general theoretical economic analysis that Indian economists have begun to make, as is evident from the contents of reputed journals in the last decade. This Survey, therefore, is neither a comprehensive account of the state of economic research in the country nor does it pretend to give an exhaustive picture of the policy issues that have been discussed on the Indian scene since 1947 when India gained independence

The Survey is broadly divided into three areas i.e. planning theory and techniques, agriculture and foreign trade. The vast majority of India's policy issues and analytical literature, fall within one or more of these categories. Because agriculture is the overwhelmingly important economic activity in the economy and its capacity to act as a significant brake on growth via its role as the supplier of wage goods to other sectors has been increasingly appreciated, this sector has also attracted considerable economic analysis

Development Strategies for Growth with Equity: The South Asian Experience

During the 1950s, which saw the rise of development economics as a separate sub-discipline of economics, constraints imposed by the levels of domestic savings and investment on economic growth of developing countries were at the center of discussions and debates on development strategies. Later on, toward the late 1960s and early 1970s, the concerns of development economists and also international agencies shifted to issues relating to employment, income distribution and poverty, as some of the early optimism about the capital-centered approach to the development process did not always produce the desired results. However, more recently from the late 1970s onwards, debates on development strategies have concentrated more on issues relating to structural adjustments, trade and other types of economic reforms, including the role of the market mechanism. This shift in emphasis in recent years, though arising out of objective circumstances, is rather unfortunate in more than one sense since, in my opinion, the objectives of generating more employment opportunities and the eradication of poverty have, if anything, greater relevance today for many developing countries, especially those in South Asia
