Zahid-ul-Islam-Dar; Kaur, Sandeep; Chattu, Vijay Kumar
Concerning land routes, the study aims to document some crucial barriers, which are relatively easy to address but potent enough to expand trade between India and Pakistan. Using field research, this article examines the factors that impede trade between India and Pakistan through land-border crossings�Attari�Wagah border in Punjab and, Chakkan da Bagh, Poonch, and Salamabad Uri, Baramulla, the two land-border crossings in Jammu and Kashmir. Semi-structured questionnaires are administered to traders and unstructured interviews are held with other stakeholders. The findings such as security issues, inadequate banking facilities, inadequate physical infrastructure, communication lacunae, excessive paperwork, and lack of arrangements for traders� meets are documented as some of the prominent impeding factors in overland trade between the two nations. The prominent barriers perceived by the traders concerning Attari and Cross-the Line of Control (LoC) trade are excessive documentation, complex procedures, and nonavailability of banking facilities. � 2023 Association of Asia Scholars.

Changing structure of India�s exports with Africa: Where do the technology-intensive exports stand?
Fayaz, Mohd; Kaur, Sandeep
The present study is an endeavour to document the pattern of comparative advantage and structural changes of Indian exports with Africa with the help of revealed comparative advantage index and the constant market share model for the period 1980�2021. The results indicate that India possesses a comparative advantage in a large number of export products to markets in Africa. However, most of these exports belong to the category of low-tech and resource-based goods. Considering its abundant labour, it is to be expected for India to have a comparative advantage in these low-skilled and labour-intensive traditional exports. The commodities with maximum advantage in the African market are medicinal and pharmaceutical products followed by sugar, sugar preparations, and honey. In the category of technology-intensive products, India has strengthened its market power only in the export of organic chemicals and dyes, and colouring materials. � 2023 African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development.

Location Determinants of Indian OFDI: Insights from Panel Data Analysis
Singh, Satinder; Kaur, Sandeep
The present study attempted to analyze the determinants affecting Indian Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) during the second generation of globalization. The results showed that economic factors like trade openness and natural resource trade of the host country were highly significant variables for Indian OFDI. The case of non-economic factors such as political stability and non-violence remained significant variables for Indian investment, but the regulatory quality was not noteworthy. The study suggested that to expand the growth of OFDI, and the government could search for other suitable markets that were less capital-intensive or used underdeveloped technology. So, India has an alternative to improve its trade relations with African and Asian markets. � 2023 The Society of Economics and Development, except certain content provided by third parties.
