Lectures on International Trade - 2nd Edition
( The greatest strength of this thoroughly revised and ex...)
The greatest strength of this thoroughly revised and expanded edition of Lectures on International Trade is its rigorous algebraic and geometric treatment of the various models and results of trade theory. The authors, who now include Arvind Panagariya, offer both policy insights and empirical applications. They have added nine entirely new chapters as well as new sections to several existing chapters (e.g., a greatly expanded treatment of the growing theory of preferential trade agreements).

Reintegrating India with the World Economy
(In the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries, India w...)
In the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries, India was well integrated into the world economy, with its merchandise exports accounting for 4.5 per cent of the world total in 1913. But India saw a steady decline of its share over the course of the century, dropping to 2.9 per cent in 1950, and finally plunging to less than 0.5 per cent by the 1980s. The decline was largely attributed to a post-independence strategy of national self-sufficiency premised on a closed economy. As other countries in the region gradually liberalized their economies, India finally followed suit in the early 1990s. In this study, Professors Srinivasan and Tendulkar examine this history in greater detail and analyze its implications for today's India. They explore the hypothesis that had the country followed a different strategy, the country's GDP growth would have been more rapid and Indian trade would have grown even faster than GDP. Chapters focus on trade issues, external factors, and foreign direct investment. Looking to the future, the authors discuss India's role in the World Trade Organization, especially with regard to the proposed "Millennium Round" of multilateral negotiations and current attempts to relate trade to labour, environmental and human rights issues. The final chapter evaluates the process of economic reform and offers policy recommendations in this regard.

Agriculture, Growth, and Redistribution of Income: Policy Analysis With a General Equilibrium Model of India (Contributions to Economic Analysis)
(This book presents an empirically estimated applied gener...)
This book presents an empirically estimated applied general equilibrium model for India and the analysis of a wide range of policy issues carried out using the model. The various chapters in the book deal with public distribution policies, foreign trade and aid policies, rural works programmes, terms of trade policies, fertilizer subsidy policies and irrigation development policies. These policies are analysed in terms of their immediate and medium term effects on production, consumption and prices of different commodities, on the growth of the economy as well as on the distribution of income among different groups in rural and urban areas and the incidence of poverty in the economy. Each chapter dealing with policy analysis describes the analytical issues involved, the historical context and experience of the policy concerned, results of the model scenarios and the policy insights that emerge.

Views
Starting from my doctoral dissertation, I have continued to work on dynamic models of economic growth and development. My dissertation (and my later article in Econometrica) included a demonstration of what Edmund Phelps christened as the Golden Rule of Accumulation at about the same time he published it. In my work with Levhari, I extended optimal savings (and accumulation) rules to situations involving uncertainty.
Bhagwati and I analysed optimal growth in an open economy. I have also built empirical planning models for India.
Singly and in collaboration with Bhagwati, I have been contributing since the mid-1960s to the pure theory of international trade. The basic thrust of these contributions is to analyse the welfare consequences and implications for factor prices of commercial and other policies in what may be loosely described as ‘distorted’ economies.
The policies included tariffs and quotas, factor accumulation, intraand international factor movements, foreign aid and other capital inflows, etc.
A third area of my continuing interest is economics of uncertainty — in a number of articles I have explored the effect of various forms of uncertainty on savings, on the relationship between farm size and productivity in agriculture, on tax evasion in a context of uncertain discovery of evasion, on commercial policy, etc. I have also contributed to the study of poverty and income distribution as well as trade and development policy issues in India. I have analysed the relationship between poverty, undernutrition and malnutrition.
Problems of agricultural development, including analysis of institutions such as tenancy and share-cropping, inter-linkages of credit, land, labour
and product markets in situations in which a complete set of Arrow-Debreu contingent commodity markets do not exist, optimal use of inputs such as irrigation water and fertilizers, continue to attract my analytical interest. More recently I have been collaborating with Kirit Parikh and N. S. S. Narayana on a dynamic computable general equilibrium model of Indian agricultural development.
