Description
Orient Blackswan Pvt. Ltd. International Trade And Industrial Dev(Pb) by VEERAMANI
This book provides a critical account of the structure and performance of India’s trade and industrial sectors following the economic policy decisions taken during the 1990s. Drawing from theory, empirical literature, case studies and econometric evaluations, the chapters provide in-depth and wide-ranging assessments of how firm, industry, product and country characteristics interact to determine trade and industrial performance. They study recent trends in manufacturing productivity, regional inequality and specialisation in manufacturing output, structure and performance of small-scale enterprises, and the export performance of agricultural commodities to present a tapestry of the Indian experience of liberalisation.
The book provides a balanced and updated analysis of various emerging issues in the areas of India’s trade and industry at macro and micro-economic levels. By considering industries and products as the units of analysis, this book sets the stage for further case studies and econometric analyses using detailed firm- and plant-level data. This volume will be valuable for students and scholars of economics, commerce and development studies.
