  • Indian Public Policy Review
    Vol. 3 No. 1 (Jan-Feb) (2022)

    The first issue of 2022 begins with a paper by Barry Eichengreen, Poonam Gupta, and Rishabh Choudhary, which looks at the preparedness of India and other emerging markets for the next round of US Federal Reserve tapering. Renu Kohli examines India's demonetization episode and concludes that it does not meet the established principles of policy credibility. In their paper on corporate tax incidence, Sankarganesh Karuppaiah and Shanmugam show that India's corporate tax has a significant adverse impact on both wages paid to employees and profit after tax. In the context of SARS-COV-2, Shambhavi Naik and Aditya Ramanathan examine the drivers and constraints on bioweapons use and the ways in which it could be employed. The paper further proposes steps that a renewed Bioweapons Convention can take to mitigate the risk of bioweapons attacks. Madhav Godbole writes a review article based on Ranjan Gogoi's book "Justice for the Judge: An Autobiography".

  • Indian Public Policy Review
    Vol. 5 No. 5 (Sep-Oct) (2024)

    The paper by Shruti Gupta, Radha Malani, and Anoop Singh identifies how subsidy spending has been accounted for in India and explains the resultant data gaps that render such fiscal data inconsistent and incomparable across levels of government. Janak Raj, Rahul Ranjan, Vrinda Gupta, and Aakanksha Shrawan's study focuses on assessing the role of fiscal transfers from the Union government compared to states' own revenue in explaining their healthcare spending. Continuing with the public finance theme, Sajjid Chinoy, Toshi Jain, and Divyanit Sood propose a new, post-pandemic fiscal architecture built on five pillars that is anchored in debt and is holistic (encompassing Centre and states), dynamic (responsive to changing macro conditions and market signals), sustainable, and conservative. The paper by Pallavi Bajaj demonstrates how trade policy is not gender-neutral and suggests ways to counter the inherent disadvantages of social, institutional, and structural constructs, as well as access and capacity constraints specific to women. Finally, Jos Chathukulam reviews the book "Public Expenditure in India: Policies and Development Outcomes" by Gayithri Karnam.
