In the 1990s, India initiated extensive policy reforms that included the adoption of a flexible exchange rate regime and an acceleration of trade liberalization. This paper analyzes the impact of the policy reforms on exchange rate pass-through into export prices using sectoral panel data (at...

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...

We find evidences of significant volatility co-movements and/ or spillover from different financial markets to forex market for Indian economy. Among a large number of variables examined, volatility spillovers from stock market, government securities market, overnight index swap, Ted spread and...

The paper's objective is to examine whether the Indian Rupee was fairly valued as of end March 2015. First, the movements of the trade weighted real effective exchange rate (REER) of the Rupee are tracked over the last ten years. Next, the underpinnings of the Harrod-Balassa-Samuelson effect,...
