TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived policy conclusions for fiscal consolidation and coordination with monetary policy in the Indian context and showed that sustainable debts and deficits may be higher in emerging markets with large population transferring to more productive employment.
Abstract: Rising deficits and high debt ratios characterized currency crises in countries with low private savings rates and low population densities. But in emerging markets with large population transferring to more productive employment, sustainable debts and deficits may be higher. Debt ratios fall with growth rates. Higher private savings can compensate for government dissaving. An optimizing model of such an economy with dualistic labour markets and two types of consumers demonstrates these features but also shows debt ratios tend to rise in high growth phases. Policy conclusions for fiscal consolidation and coordination with monetary policy are derived in the Indian context.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test the Barro proposition in the Indian context using two methods: the conventional two-step method proposed by Barro and applied by Ghani (1991) and then move on to the interpretation of Barro's proposition in a cointegrating VAR framework.
Abstract: In this paper we test the Barro proposition in the Indian context using two methods. We first use the conventional two step method proposed by Barro and applied in the Indian context by Ghani (1991). We then move on to the interpretation of the Barro proposition in a cointegrating VAR framework. The results obtained from these methods are quite consistent and suggest that in the Indian context, anticipated money affects output significantly, whereas no such robust conclusion can be drawn concerning the effects of the unanticipated component of money.

TL;DR: In this paper, a narrative review of the evidence on impacts on food security, health and nutrition of beneficiaries of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNRGEA) and the Public Distribution System (PDS) in India is presented.
Abstract: This paper brings together existing literature on the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNRGEA) and the Public Distribution System (PDS) in India, offering a narrative review of the evidence on impacts on food security, health and nutrition of beneficiaries Both programs operate on a large scale and have the capacity to impact the factors leading to undernutrition It is evident that despite the deficiencies in implementation, both the MGNREGA and the PDS are inclusive and reach the poor and the marginalized who are likely to also experience greater undernutrition and poor health Data challenges have however prevented researchers from conducting studies that assess the ultimate impact of these two large-scale programs on health and nutrition The evidence that exists suggests largely positive impacts indicating a clear potential to make these programs more nutrition sensitive not just by incorporating elements that would explicitly address nutritional concerns but also by directing specific attention to innovations that strengthen critical complementarities and synergies that exist between the two programs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the effect of foreign trade on Indian artisans and their evolution in the last hundred years and point out that artisans did not face significant competition from imported goods, nor were reduced to fodder for metropolitan industrialization.
Abstract: Studies on Indian artisans in the recent times have tended to be guided by the notion of a world market which, it is believed, drove them towards obsolescence through changing tastes or productivity. This framework, however, is not without problems. First, the presence of older industries in modern India, or their long continuance, tends to be seen in terms of ‘survivals’ or ‘revivals’, which terms deny them any inherent dynamics. On the other hand, the impression that many of them ‘survive’ today in strikingly modernized forms, utilizing production and marketing institutions vastly different from those that prevailed a hundred years ago, would demand of historians an account of how old industries evolve, and become integrated into the rest of the economy. Secondly, the crux of the world market story is the economy's opening up to trade. That foreign trade had a critical impact on crafts such as textiles, partially decimated by imports, or leather, where trade commercialized an erstwhile custom-bound exchange, is indisputable. But there are other notable examples where the effect of trade was benign, minor, or indirect, where artisans remained producers of a mass consumable; and where neither did they face significant competition from imported goods, nor were reduced to fodder for metropolitan industrialization. Yet they changed profoundly. In a way, their history reflects not the play of a dominant exogenous process, but the totality of the economy's structural change. Crafts history does not yet provide us with prototypes of this endogenous transformation.
