The impact of innovation activities on firm performance using a multi-stage model: Evidence from the Community Innovation Survey 4

During the past three decades, numerous policy changes were made by the policy makers to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in India. An extensive body of studies using rich firm level panel d...

FDI and Spillovers in India: Any Policy Lessons from Existing Studies?:

This paper analyses spatial interaction in public spending decisions across 22 Indian states during the period 1980â€“1981 to 2014â€“2015. In particular, we estimate interactive hypotheses for different proximities of states using a spatial panel data approach. The empirical results support strong spatial interaction and yardstick competition in public spending. Interactive behavior among the states has been found to be consistent and conditional on per capita income, fiscal transfers, infrastructure, literacy and population density. Interaction arising from yardstick competition significantly affects public spending decisions. The present study realizes the need for a wellâ€ developed and comprehensive network to strengthen the interdependence in public spending among the states for higher welfare gain.

Agglomeration and Productivity: Evidence from Indian Manufactuaring:

In this study, we examine the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in global value chains (GVCs) and highlight the role of financial constraints in shaping their participation in GVCs. We use a rich unbalanced panel of 888 SMEs for Indian manufacturing over the period 2006‒2016. While examining the effect of financial constraints on the participation in GVCs of Indian SMEs, our sample suffers from two possible sources of endogeneity. In this regard, the empirical strategy employed in this study allows us to correct for reverse causality and self-selection bias. We correct for reverse causation using an instrumental variable approach and account for selection bias using a two-step probit selection model. Our findings highlight that GVC firms in the sample find financial constraints to be a significant deterring factor for Indian SMEs trying to participate in GVCs. Further, the findings of our study are robust to alternative definitions of SMEs and GVCs.
