While China's stellar export performance is a well-established fact, the issue of diversification of China's exports continues to be debated. There are differing opinions on the factor proportions in its exports. Some argue that exports continue to be labour-intensive while others have found a...

Over the past years, both India and China have demonstrated dynamism in their international as well as bilateral trade relations. While both countries have registered a rise in merchandise trade as well as trade of commercial services, the significance of merchandise trade, for exports as well...

This book focuses on the link between changing structure of the Indian economy and energy use, which is of immense importance in view of the possible substitutions across different fuel types, within industries and processes, to cleaner fuels which are efficient or less emitting. The book...

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...

Factor productivity is traditionally studied through the measurement of factor intensity for sectors of the economy. However, this measurement is restricted to their direct use within the sector ignoring their embeddedness in upstream sectors. Therefore, an underestimation of the factor...

A dedicated support for SMEs through imparting information as well as addressing their concerns will not only improve prospects for SMEs, but will also contribute to greater utilization of the FTAs. While integrating into GVCs, standard compliance does not come easy due to lack of information...

Often trade policy of a country is evaluated for its employment effect and a liberal import policy is criticised for its adverse impact on domestic employment in a more explicit manner. However, for reasons such as low worker reallocations due to trade and employment creation from a concomitant...

Structural transformation supports higher output growth if it reflects the endowment fundamentals of the economy. Since the industrial structure is expected to align with factor- intensive sectors, structural coherence with factor proportions becomes an important consideration for industrial...
