  • Political Economy of India's Fiscal and Financial Reform*
    Working Paper No. 105 Political Economy of India’s Fiscal and Financial Reform by John Echeverri-Gent* August 2001 Stanford University John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Building 366 Galvez Street | Stanford, CA | 94305-6015 * Associate Professor, Department of Government and Foreign Affairs, University of Virginia 1 Although economic liberalization may involve curtailing state economic intervention, it does not diminish the state’s importance in economic development. In addition to its crucial role in maintaining macroeconomic stability, the state continues to play a vital, if more subtle, role in creating incentives that shape economic activity. States create these incentives in a variety of ways including their authorization of property rights and market microstructures, their creation of regulatory agencies, and the manner in which they structure fiscal federalism. While the incentives established by the state have pervasive economic consequences, they are created and re-created through political processes, and politics is a key factor in explaining the extent to which state institutions promote efficient and equitable behavior in markets. India has experienced two important changes that fundamentally have shaped the course of its economic reform. India’s party system has been transformed from a single party dominant system into a distinctive form of coalitional politics where single-state parties play a pivotal role in making and breaking governments. At the same time economic liberalization has progressively curtailed central government dirigisme and increased the autonomy of market institutions, private sector actors, and state governments. In this essay I will analyze how these changes have shaped the politics of fiscal and financial sector reform.

  • Profile of Dr. RAJA J. CHELLIAH Dr
    Profile of Dr. RAJA J. CHELLIAH Dr. Raja J. Chelliah was a national icon at least in four respects: as a teacher of economics, as a fiscal policy maker, as an institutional builder and as a mentor. The most prestigious Padma Vibhushan was conferred on him by the Government of India in 2007. Born in 1922, he obtained BA and MA degrees in Economics from the University of Madras. After a few years of teaching at Madras Christian College, he won the Fullbright-SmithMundt scholarship and did Ph.d in Economics at University of Pittsburgh, USA. After serving at NCAER, New Delhi, University of Rajasthan, and Osmania University, he was invited to join the staff of IMF in the Fiscal Affairs Department. He was the chief of Fiscal Analysis Division during 1970-75. Dr. Chelliah came back from the IMF in 1975 with view to finally settling down in India and rebuilding India’s fiscal system. Dr. Raja J. Chelliah has been remembered as the Chief Architect of the Tax Reforms initiated by the Government of India when the country embarked on its liberalization journey in 1991. Through his work in the area of fiscal federalism as well as his research on development issues, poverty eradication, Dr. Chelliah has made invaluable contribution to the Indian Economic Reforms and has left an indelible impression on the present rapidly globalizing economy of India. Introduction of VAT in the case of indirect taxes owes much to Dr. Chelliah’s efforts. He built both National Institute of Public Finance and Policy at New Delhi and Madras School of Economics, Chennai.
