Book Details
The book addresses some important issues in Indian economic development during the post-Independence period. It examines the performance of the economy in general and the agricultural sector in particular, structural break in different sectors of the economy, sustainable development in agriculture, regional divergence in per capita income and agricultural output and productivity, inter-state variations in rural poverty and human development, and spatial integration in foodgrain markets. The issues with immense contemporary relevance are analyzed in the context of the on-going economic reforms since 1991, using extensively sophisticated econometric techniques including the advanced time-series methods viz., unit-root, cointegration and error-correction. The book is analytically rich in its deliberations on the issues. It is immensely useful to students, teachers, researchers, policy makers and general readers with an interest in Indian economic development.
