This workshop will examine the implications of economic reforms on the productivity performance of firms and industries in Indian manufacturing. They invite original and methodologically rigorous papers covering any area related to the theme of the workshop. They 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. They are also interested in papers specifically dealing with the productivity and efficiency of the unorganized/informal manufacturing sector.
