This third and final volume from the City Study analyzes the structure of Bogota and Cali, Colombia by modelling different markets and the behavior of individuals, households, firms, and governments within these markets. Simple economic reasoning is used to understand the urban behavior that can determine a city's overall appearance and structure. The author underlines the importance of this understanding which, he argues, could lead to the creation of more effective urban policies. This study links infrastructure requirements and supply to the behavior of urban life and to the existing income distribution in the city. The author concludes that institutional responses to the rapidly changing and unpredictable demands of metropolitan residents must become an inherent part of city structure, and that this would be the most practical way of coping with urban growth.

Reforms in India have had a longer trajectory than in many other countries, moving from a controlled and repressed financial sector through the 1970s and 1980s to the overarching economic reforms initiated in December 1991. Over the past decade, interest in the conduct of monetary policy and in the regulation and supervision of the financial sector has attracted global attention. These essays written over the last two decades provide valuable insights into the framing of monetary policy and its evolution in India. They focus on the evolution of banking and finance, the framing of monetary policy, and the role of central banking. Written by a leading macro policy adviser and central banker, this collection is especially relevant in today's environment of financial turbulence in global financial markets.

Monetary Policy in a Globalized Economy

The Indian growth experience is well-documented. However, bottlenecks and gaps, sectoral and social issues, and the changing international arena are increasingly emerging as concerns. In view of Montek Singh Ahluwalia's major role in crafting reforms which helped integrate India with the world economy, this volume in his honour brings together essays by leading experts on the Indian economy and on international economic policy. The volume spans the main features of India's economic development and addresses issues such as poverty and inequality, capital markets, infrastructure, human resources, global finance, climate change, and international cooperation.  Grounded in the context of current issues and constraints, the volume is divided into four themes: (i) growth, inequality, and reform; (ii) the evolution of macroeconomic, monetary, and financial policies; (iii) review of progress in key sectors of the economy; (iv) India's role and place in the global economy. The essays analyse the key economic challenges facing India today and suggest policy measures that can propel India towards inclusive growth.

India's Economy: Performances and Challenges

Acharya, Shankar

It is widely believed that the Indian economy witnessed near stagnation in real GDP growth from Independence till the late 1970s. Challenging this notion, the collection of papers and speeches in this volume provides fresh perspectives on India's growth experience from Independence to the recent global financial crisis. This volume documents how the conduct of Indian monetary and financial policy has been unorthodox by the standards of extant international conventional wisdom, but appropriate to the macroeconomic and structural conditions prevailing in India. With a focus on growth drivers and financial stability, the volume deals with a wide-range of issues: growth of manufacturing and service sectors, role of policies (monetary, fiscal, financial market and sector, external sector), urban infrastructure investment, public service delivery, role of central banks, and the interaction between international finance and monetary policy. Drawing upon the post-reform experience and the global crisis, the volume takes stock of current challenges and suggests strategies to sustain long-term double-digit growth rates.
