The paper uses the spatially-weighted Ellison Glaser Index to control for the inter-district spillover effect. The overall degree of agglomeration has been moderate and, over time, it registered a declining trend. While analysing the nature of industrial agglomeration, it has been observed that most of the low-tech and medium-low-tech industries are found to be highly agglomerated. 42% of the highly agglomerated industries are also highly polluting in nature. During the period 2000-01 to 2009-10, the second-tier cities observed a rise in the number of plants belonging to the polluting industries. High-tech industries are found to be concentrated in the already industrialised states. In contrast to this, the medium-high-tech industries have been spreading across districts. The distribution of low-tech industries is found to be even across the districts. \u0000","PeriodicalId":173340,"journal":{"name":"Indian Public Policy Review","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125117258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, it  briefly reviews the recent geopolitical situation in South Asia. Against the backdrop of the evolving geopolitical situation, the paper reviews South Asian integration in a nutshell. It then examines the progress and failures of SAARC as a regional forum in four key areas of regional cooperation and integration: trade,  money and finance, and people-to-people contacts. From the available empirical evidence,  the paper deciphers that regional integration under SAARC has progressed at a far lower momentum than what was expected at the time of its formation. Progress in regional cooperation under SAARC also compares poorly with similar regional forums in both Europe and Southeast Asia. Against this backdrop, this paper synthesizes the existing studies on SAARC, and  comes up with ambitious yet pragmatic policy options for fast-tracking the forum’s economic integration. \u0000","PeriodicalId":173340,"journal":{"name":"Indian Public Policy Review","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127584963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has led to an under-appreciation of the quantum and the effects of internal trade. This is of particular significance for larger economies such as India. One reason is the relative paucity of data for tracking internal trade. This study proposes to make use of domestic taxation (VAT/GST/Sales Tax) data to get a sense of the volume and directions of internal trade with a special emphasis on India. The study quantifies interstate trade flows in India to amount to about 69% of the GDP when domestic movement of imported goods are included, and about 35% of the GDP when only domestically-produced goods are taken into account. Further, internal trade appears to be growing at more than twice the pace of growth of the GDP. Amongst other reasons, this enhanced economic integration is attributable to the transportation efficiency gains that have accrued after the introduction of the Goods & Services Tax (GST). \u0000","PeriodicalId":173340,"journal":{"name":"Indian Public Policy Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131838468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It looks at the 20 major Indian states, using the fiscal policy response function, two alternative specifications, and panel data methodology to analyse the issue at aggregate and disaggregate levels during GST regime. The results indicate that the debt policy is sustainable at the aggregate level, but only in 9 states at the disaggregate level during the GST regime. However, when GST compensation is excluded from the model, the test results do not indicate that Indian states pursued sustainable debt policies. The observed results are then amplified and corroborated using an indicator-based approach, and it is concluded that the GST remains an undermining factor of debt sustainability. Overall, the study draws attention to the states’ poor revenue performance after GST, and the challenges to the sustainability of their debt position. Policy intervention should be sought to improve the debt situation through an effective GST mechanism in states where the debt is unsustainable. \u0000","PeriodicalId":173340,"journal":{"name":"Indian Public Policy Review","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115014640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analyses indicate that, assuming an inflation rate of 5% and 2% exchange rate depreciation per annum, the Tamil Nadu economy needs to grow at a real growth rate of 13.2% per annum for 8 consecutive years from 2023-24 to 2030-31 to reach the US $1 trillion target. Considering the growth contributions of sub sectors, this study simulates multiple growth strategies to achieve 9% overall growth, which would achieve the target in 2033-34. Further, it examines whether export promotion will help to achieve this target. Finally, it shows that the current level of debt-GSDP ratio is a hindrance to growth. It suggests that ensuring 14% nominal (i.e., 9% real) growth of economy, the state should target for a revenue surplus from 2023-24 onwards, such that it contains its fiscal deficit to only 2% level and obtains a sustainable threshold debt level of about 18% in 2034-35. \u0000","PeriodicalId":173340,"journal":{"name":"Indian Public Policy Review","volume":"59 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114041171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case study of compensatory discrimination policy in India has been used to demonstrate the factors affecting policy design in India. It demonstrates that as we go into the narrow details of any policy, in a democracy, the space for political entrepreneurship increases, despite all institutional constraints. One of the important factors highlighted is the politics of social construction of knowledge in India.

The levels of deficit and debt in India have been much higher than the levels seen in emerging economies. The Coronavirus Pandemic has brought the issue to the fore once again. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequent sanctions have only worsened the situation. The attempts to control them by implementing rule-based fiscal policy, like in most other countries, have not been successful. The numerical targets on deficit and debt recommended by successive Finance Commissions and taken in FRBM Acts have been observed in their breach rather than compliance. The targets have been repeatedly revised and suspended, escape clauses have been invoked, and compliance, when shown, is done through creative accounting.

There is conflict of interest in keeping the accounts for States and auditing them by CAG, with potential scope to adversely impact the quality of both accounting and auditing. Further, ever since 1976, CAG continues to perform entitlement functions for employees of a majority of States, without any statutory authority, thus incurring irregular expenditure. With the present level of audit coverage, all the auditable units by CAG could not be covered in a way that can provide an assurance as to the completeness and timeliness of audit. The susceptibility of public finance to the political regime, the meagre rate of expenditure (about Rs. 32 for checking of financial transactions worth Rs. 1,00,000), and significant recovery of public money at the instance of audit provide adequate justification for strengthening of audit with more human resources. Thus, reorganisation of the institution of CAG to make it an exclusive audit institution, along with strengthening it (with adequate human resources) would better serve the objective of its creation. \u0000","PeriodicalId":173340,"journal":{"name":"Indian Public Policy Review","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131236923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
