Selected Excerpts from the Editor's Summary on the
issue
"The
fifth annual conference of
the India Policy Forum was
held on July 15 and 16 of
2008 in New Delhi. This
issue of the journal
contains the papers and
discussion presented at
the conference. A total of
five papers were
presented. The first paper
examines the growth of
private schools in India
and their influence on
school quality. It is an
extension of recent issues
of this journal that have
evaluated the performance
of India’s education
system. The second paper
addresses a major question
of why the growth of
manufacturing output and
employment in India has
been disappointingly low.
The final three papers
share a common focus on
India’s external
financial relations. The
third paper analyzes the
process of capital account
liberalization and the
integration of India’s
financial institutions
into the global financial
system. The fourth paper
measures the evolution of
prices in the non-tradable
and tradable sectors of
the Indian economy and
seeks explanations for the
rise in the relative price
of non-tradables. The last
paper addresses the issue
of the adequacy of India’s
current foreign exchange
reserves.
