Econometric Model of India

First Published in 1970. Econometric model-building, on the other hand, has been largely confined to the advanced industrialised countries. In the few cases where macro-models have been built for underdeveloped countries (e.g. the Narasimham model (112) for India) the underlying assumptions have been largely of the Keynesian type, and thus in the authors opinion unconnected with the theory of economic development. This study is a modest attempt at econometric model-building on the basis of a model of development of an underdeveloped country.
