    An empirical analysis of growth determinants in India and South Korea: Possible lessons for India
    (Asociacion Euro-Americana de Estudios del Desarrollo, 2017) Bhat, Gulshan Farooq; Bhatia, Sandeep Kaur; Bhat, G.F.; Bhatia, S.K.
    Since the second half of the twentieth century, most imperative experience in the rise of the global economy had been the upswing of East Asian industrializing countries including South Korea. The spectacular sociopolitical and economic revolution of South Korea in the last few decades made it a development model worth replicable. The study advances the theoretical and empirical research on the role and performances of major sectors and indicators in India and South Korea and to find out the possible lessons for India. The comparative analysis identified that India lags behind as a wide gap emerges between systematic quality, management and development expenditures of various important sectors including Education, R&D and some other correlated sectors including corruption. Korea made an impressive and enormous strides in the fields, especially Capital formation, Manufacturing, Trade mainly exports and Innovation (R&D), controlling red tape, which in turn helped them a great deal in the overall development. The empirical study makes it that Education, Trade, Manufacturing, R&D that augmented the development process in Korea and made it a replicable model, may also prove the same for India if followed sensibly.

    Trends , Patterns and Determinants of Indian Current Account Deficit
    (Euro-American Association of Economic Development Studies, 2016) Fayaz, Mohd; Bhatia, Sandeep Kaur
    India’s current account experience deteriorated due to its large dependence on imports and un-competitiveness of exports. The relation between external and internal balances, with deficit in specific, deserves significant attention. Thus to understand the factors influencing current account is important for better designing the policies aiming at sustainable Current Account Deficit (CAD). In this direction, the present study is an endeavour to enrich the existing literature on the trends, patterns and determinants of current account deficit in India since 1996. The study adopts Johansen Cointegration approach to identify long-run relationship and uses Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to identify short-run relationship. The results of Johansen Cointegration test indicates the existence of long-run equilibrium relationship between the current account and the variables of interest, implying that India’s current account is influenced by these factors. On the basis of the empirical results, study concluded that continuously increasing Net Foreign Assets (NFAs) will lead to the betterment of the current account while, increase in imports encompassing exchange rate deterioration will keep on mounting pressure on CAD of India.
