The developing countries, like India, face the twin challenges of sustainable growth and high import dependency due to direct energy imports. The presence of less energy intensive commodities in the export basket not only improves cost competitiveness along with environmental compliance but can...

The use of constant price Input-Output (I-O) models is based on a widely accepted ex-ante notion without a strong empirical analysis. The present paper contributes by filling the research gap with regards to a comparison of nominal and real technology coefficients of India for the latest year...

Increasing interaction between economic growth and its environmental implications requires a more focused study of energy linkages. This paper is an attempt to trace changing energy linkages in an I-O framework using widely accepted concepts of backward and forward linkages. It differs from...

This paper is an attempt to analyze changing energy intensities in the Indian economy. The hybrid I-O model at constant prices has been used to address the problem of homogenous pricing of energy inputs across sectors of the economy. Results reveal that the indirect rather than direct energy use...

In India, the constant price Input-output (I-O) flows receive comparatively less attention. Large data requirements and availability constraints compel users of constant price flows and real technology coefficients to work with only one price deflator namely, output deflator. The deflation...

The energy balance due to embodied energy use may be significant for trade dependent economies. In this paper, authors estimate the balance of embodied energy in India's international trade at aggregate and sector levels. Over time, the composite energy sector (including primary and secondary...

This paper highlights the increasing significance of energy in the Indian economy. The analysis is based on changing dynamics of the supply-and-use relationships among various sectors of the economy. It is observed that energy is an increasingly important input to Indian manufacturing. Since...

The complexity in the productive structure of an economy may be measured by the nature and extent of association between the sales and the purchase profiles captured by its input-output table. In this paper we estimate the change in complexity in productive structure of the Indian economy during...

Increasing demand for energy from its fast growing economy notwithstanding, India is committed to reduce energy consumption on account of the concerns for climate change. It is often held that growth in energy demand could be moderated through autonomous changes in production technology. This...

This paper attempts to analyze sources of output growth in the Indian economy using Input-Output based Structural Decomposition Analysis over the period 1993-4 to 2003-4. The decomposition results show that overall output expansion of the economy was primarily driven by increase in domestic...
