چکیده

Can we use neoclassical growth model to single out the important transmission channels through which primitives a¤ected the Indian economy and caused the remarkable growth of the period 1982 to 2002? In this paper, we answer the question by applying the new technique of business cycle accounting to the Indian economy. Business cycle accounting procedure is based on the idea that primitives a¤ect the economy through three possible channels: through changes in productivity, through changes in labor market frictions or through changes in investment market frictions. Our results show us that the primary conduit of policies that brought about signi…cant growth in India was productivity that registered an unprecedented increase particularly in the nineties. Our results further indicate that changes in labor market frictions and investment market frictions did not play a signi…cant role. Keywords: Business cycle accounting, Indian growth, wedges, neoclassical growth JEL Classi…cation : E13, E32
