This book is a collection of essays of Dr I.G. Patel, a distinguished economist and policymaker, on a wide range of issues related to theory and policy in the areas of money, finance, trade, balance of payments, and economic development. These essays provide insights in to Dr Patel's deep grasp of economic theory and econometric techniques. Modifying economic theory to solve the problems of India and other similarly situated countries, they reveal how macroeconomic theory predominant in developed countries assumed new meaning and dimension in the context of economic development. The articles contain a tapestry of ideas which are still relevant in the contemporary Indian and global economic setting.

Of Economics, Policy, and Development: An Intellectual Journey: Collected Essays of I.G. Patel

Khatkhate, Deena

The world economy has been in a crisis mould since 2007. What started as a sub-prime crisis in the residential mortgage market in the US, resulted in a global financial crisis, uneven recovery and persisting uncertainties with new challenges to several areas of public policy. The eruption of the Sovereign debt crisis in some countries in the euro area has led to a setback to the incipient recovery. The emerging markets which appeared somewhat resilient in the initial stage, have since been subjected to uncertainties. In this backdrop, this book addresses evolving complex interlinkage between monetary, financial, and fiscal policies across the globe. The book is organized into three distinct themes. First, the impact of the crisis on fiscal positions and fiscal implications of the measures undertaken to deal with the crisis on the global economy are narrated. Second, cross-country experiences with special emphasis on the euro area economies as well as India are explored. Finally, issues relating to the interaction between monetary, fiscal and financial policies are analysed, with emphasis on public debt management, sovereign debt restructuring, taxation and regulation of the financial sector and sub-national finance. The concluding chapter presents the emerging challenges.

Financial and Fiscal Policies: Crises and New Realities

Ray, Partha

Valluri, Narayan

Likening fiscal federalism to a game between the Union and the States, and among the States themselves, Indian Fiscal Federalism lays bare the complex rules of play. It examines the pivotal role of Finance Commissions and assesses momentous events since 2014, such as the replacement of the Planning Commission by NITI Aayog, the emergence of the GST Council, and the controversies surrounding the Fifteenth Finance Commission. The book offers a historical perspective on fiscal federalism, in particular the interplay and overlap of institutional mechanisms. In doing so, it examines persistent as well as immediate concerns, and offers a way forward. A contemporary, timely, and comprehensive analysis of fiscal federalism in India, this is a must-read for all those interested in the subject.

A journalist once asked Y.V. Reddy, 'Governor, how independent is the RBI?' 'I am very independent,' Reddy replied. 'The RBI has full autonomy. I have the permission of my finance minister to tell you that.' Reddy may have put it lightly but it is a theme he deals with at length in Advice and Dissent. Spanning a long career in public service which began with his joining the IAS in 1964, he writes about decision making at several levels. In his dealings, he was firm, unafraid to speak his mind, but avoided open discord. In a book that appeals to the lay reader and the finance specialist alike, Reddy gives an account of the debate and thinking behind some landmark events, and some remarkable initiatives of his own, whose benefits reached the man on the street. Reading between the lines, one recognizes controversies on key policy decisions which reverberate even now. This book provides a ringside view of the licence permit raj, drought, bonded labour, draconian forex controls, the balance of payments crisis, liberalisation, high finance, and the emergence of India as a key player in the global economy. He also shares his experience of working closely with some of the architects of India's economic change: Manmohan Singh, Bimal Jalan, C. Rangarajan, Yashwant Sinha, Jaswant Singh and P. Chidambaram. He also worked closely with extraordinary leaders like N.T. Rama Rao, as described in a memorable chapter. As governor of the RBI from 2003 to 2008 he presided over a period of high growth, low inflation, a stable rupee and ample foreign exchange reserves - a far cry from the 1991 crisis he lived through and describes in vivid detail, when the country had to mortgage its gold to meet its debt obligations. He is credited with saving the Indian banking system from the sub-prime and liquidity crisis of 2008 that erupted shortly after his term at RBI ended. Dr Reddy provides insight into post-crisis reflection undertaken by several global institutions on the international monetary system and financial architecture. In addition, he describes the development of the Fourteenth Finance Commission report, which he chaired, and is considered a game changer. Leavened with his irrepressible sense of humour, Advice and Dissent is a warm, engaging account of a life that moves easily from his career in the districts as a young IAS officer to the higher echelons of policy making, in a trajectory that follows change in the country itself.
