Why was the Participation of Indian States in the Growth Turnaround so Patchy? Some Evidence Based on Robustness Analysis

In Ghate & Wright Journal of Development Economics, vol. 99 (2012) pp 58–67, it was noted that there was considerable variation in the extent to which different Indian states participated in the Great Indian Growth Turnaround. In this paper it is investigated whether there was any systematic relationship between participation in the turnaround and the characteristics of Indian states, using the robustness approach originally proposed by Sali-i-Martin (1997).
