  • Role of State Owned Enterprises in India's Economic Development
    Workshop on State-Owned Enterprises in the Development Process Paris, 4 April 2014 OECD Conference Centre, Room 4 ROLE OF STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN INDIA’S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT by Professor Ram Kumar Mishra This paper serves as background material for the Workshop on SOEs in the Development Process taking place in Paris on 4 April 2014. It was prepared by Professor Ram Mishra from the Institute of Public Enterprise in India, working as a consultant for the OECD Secretariat. The opinions and views expressed and arguments employed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect or represent the official views of the OECD or of the governments of its member countries. Role of State Owned Enterprises in India’s Economic Development R K Mishra . Economic Development has been the prime concern of the Indian state since the inception of India’s independence in 1947. India was born independent with mass poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and disease. It faced the challenge of growth and change to catch up with the developed countries. It had to decide on vital issues such as its development strategy for the future, the industrial policy it had to adopt to achieve the goals of the development strategy, the corporate action that had to follow as a consequence of such industrial policy, the need for setting up the State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) as an instrument of implementing the public policy and to provide a fillip to the private sector to make India a mixed economy. The purpose of this paper is to narrate, in brief, a historic overview of evolving development strategies and industrial policies in India, discuss at length the experience over recent decades with assigning SOEs with public policy objectives in pursuit of developmental goals, focus on state-controlled alternatives to SOEs in detail and, finally based on the Indian experience outline lessons for other countries that have embarked on the path of economic development.

  • Three-Sector Structure of the National Economy of Russia

Khasanov1 1 Kazan Federal University, Russian Federation Correspondence: I. Sh. Khasanov, Kremliovskaya str. 18, Kazan, 420008, Russian Federation. E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 30, 2014 Accepted: July 29, 2014 Online Published: September 28, 2014 doi:10.5539/ass.v10n20p217 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v10n20p217 Abstract The main objective of the article is to determine the changes in the income and expenditure of the national economy of Russia from 1961 to 2009. To solve this problem, the author applied research methodology of the economic system-a three-sector static equilibrium income and expenses using a statistical system of national accounts. As a result, on the basis of the methodology found an association between income and expenditure of the three sectors (economic activities) of the national economy: the production of products and services for production purposes, the production of consumer goods and production of financial and credit services. Keywords: static equilibrium in the economy, the structure of the national economy, sectors of economy, gross domestic product, income and expenses 1. Introduction When dividing the economy into three sectors, all business entities engaged in production of goods and services on the territory of Russia are taken into account. The state sector refers to the set of entities that are controlled by the state through federal government bodies and regional government bodies of the Federation, the municipal sector-to the set of entities that are controlled by local governments.

  • The Strategic Role of the Private Sector in Transforming the Real Economy Towards an Inclusive, Green and Circular Future
    DESA Working Paper No. 169 ST/ESA/2020/DWP/169 JULY 2020 Beyond the Business Case: The Strategic Role of the Private Sector in Transforming the Real Economy Towards an Inclusive, Green and Circular Future Author: Sumi Han, Division for Sustainable Development Goals, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs ABSTRACT Research suggests that achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can open up market opportu- nities worth USD 12 trillion in the four largest sectors that represent 60 per cent of real economy – food and agriculture; cities; energy and materials; and health and well-being. While the concept of the SDGs creating a win-win situation for all is growing increasingly trendy, further evidence needs to be accumulated to better chart the important discourse on the private sector’s engagement with the SDGs. To this end, this paper aims to shed light on three questions: (i) How is the private sector currently engaging with the SGDs in these sectors?; (ii) What are the key areas of opportunities in which companies can foster long-term value in sup- port of sustainable development?; and (iii) What transformations are needed to enhance the contributions of the private sector? Noting the shift towards a more inclusive, green and circular future requires policy, institutional, technological and human capabilities and political will, this paper provides concrete policy re- commendations on some of the first steps required to move towards such transformations. JEL Classification: F63, I11, O13, O18 Keywords: private sector; sustainable development; food and agriculture; cities; energy; health; well-being Sustainable Development Goals: 2, 3, 7, 11, 12, 17 Disclaimer: The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations.

  • Privatization, Democracy, and the State in India
    Privatization, Democracy, and the State in India Alka Sapat Florida Atlantic University Paper prepared for the Anti-Essentialism Conference, March 2-3, 2007, Hollywood Beach, Ft. Lauderdale. Introduction Several countries underwent major transformations of their economies in the last two decades. The most important shift globally, particularly in developing countries has been to move towards a market-based economy and the phenomenon of globalization. From various treatises on the subject ranging from “Jihads to McWorlds” (Barber 1995) to “Lexuses and Olive Trees” (Friedman 2000) and ‘flat worlds’ (Friedman 2005), globalization has become a household word given the attention from scholars, journalists, and the populace at large. Apart from being the mot du jour, globalization, its causes and its consequences, evokes strong emotions and debate by both its proponents and opponents alike (Naisbitt 1994; Farazmand 1999). Lumped together, sometimes almost synonymously is the phenomenon of privatization. Privatization, like globalization, has also received its fair share of attention, from its supporters and detractors. On the one hand, privatization purports to unleash economic freedoms and allow private initiative and enterprise. On the other hand, however, privatization has been critiqued for its essentialist notions of efficiency and rationality and for undermining democracy and community (Farazmand 1999; Lindblom, 1977; Heilbroner 1990; Korten 1995). In particular, some scholars have argued that market forces in the form of multinational corporations frequently aid repressive regimes (Cottam 1979) and often cause local people to loose control of their communities (Mele 1997, Korten 1995). I add to this debate by examining in particular, the impact of privatization on democracy in India.

  • The Private Sector and Development Effectiveness - Discussion Paper for Tudcn Members
    THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND DEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESS - DISCUSSION PAPER FOR TUDCN MEMBERS - THE ROLE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN DEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESS Although this subject has been little explored until recently, the aid environment is undergoing profound change and is now seeking growing corporate involvement. This paper aims to identify the main issues and challenges related to the role of the private sector in development, to serve as a useful basis for discussion for the TUDCN, so that it can also define its position on the subject ahead of HLF 4. The paper draws from a variety of sources, including official development institutions, trade unions, NGOs and consultants, etc. It is enriched by the first positions adopted by the various stakeholders, including members of the Network during the last general meeting. 1. Defining the "private sector" 2. The interest in studying the role of the private sector in development effectiveness 3. Forms of private sector involvement in the aid/development system? Companies, aid beneficiaries Public-private partnerships Private financing for development 4. Elements of a trade union position What form should public and democratic regulation of the private sector's activities take? Integrating the principles of development effectiveness in companies' core business Should ODA finance the private sector? 1 | P a g e 1. DEFINING THE PRIVATE SECTOR Defining the private sector is an essential stage in reaching any understanding of current practices and the role the sector should be given in development policies. The efforts hitherto made to give it an official definition have, however, only resulted in a rather vague consensus.
