ANNOUNCING A WORKSHOP ON

ECONOMIC REFORMS AND THE EVOLUTION OF PRODUCTIVITY IN INDIAN MANUFACTURING

(March 18-19, 2011)

In 1991, the Indian economy underwent major economic reforms, after
several decades of following an inward looking development strategy.
This workshop will examine the implications of economic reforms on the
productivity performance of firms and industries in Indian
manufacturing. We invite original and methodologically rigorous papers
covering any area related to the theme of the workshop. We are
particularly interested in papers that examine issues relating to the
data quality of the Indian industrial data-base, and apply novel
econometric methods in the estimation of productivity using firm or
industry level data. We are also interested in papers specifically
dealing with the productivity and efficiency of the
unorganized/informal manufacturing sector.

This workshop is hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)
Bombay in conjunction with Centre for Multi-Disciplinary Development
Research (CMDR) Dharwad and IDPM, University of Manchester, UK, and
sponsored by the Economic and Social Research Council, UK. The
organizers will pay apex air fare within India and will take care of
local hospitality. Full-length papers (not more than 10,000 words, and
with an abstract of 150 words, with full contact details of the
author(s)) must be submitted to the conference organizers at the
following e-mail address ([email protected]) by November 30th, 2010.

Decisions on whether paper submissions have been accepted for the
workshop will be communicated by December 31st, 2010.
