The aim of this study is threefold. First, we analyse the relationship between export incentives on firm survival during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis; second, we explore the nexus between bank dependency and survival in the export market; and finally, we test the complementarity and substitutability effect of export incentives and bank...
The coronavirus disease 2019 has severely affected the financially constrained small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In response, various countries employed several policies to support SMEs. Using rich firm-level data from 34 countries, we study the impact of the pandemic-led crisis on cash-strapped SMEs and the role of governments in offsetting los...
Using a rich firm‐level data set pertaining to 80 countries, this paper investigates the relationship between institutional gender equality and financial constraints on female‐led firms. We employ a broad index of gender inequality as well as alternate measures in terms of economic, educational, and political inequality. We observe that institution...
The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between innovation and firms’ participation in global value chains (GVCs). To achieve this objective, we use rich firm-level data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES), spanning the period of 2006-17, belonging to 90 countries. Accounting for endogeneity arising from reverse causalit...
This paper investigates the impact of unconventional monetary policy on stock returns using the Reserve Bank of India’s long-term repo operations (LTROs). We provide evidence that firms listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange register higher returns on the days of LTRO announcements. We also find the stock returns of bank-dependent and financially cons...
In this study, we investigate the impact of the light-a-lamp event that occurred in India during the COVID-19 lockdown. This event happened across the country, and millions of people participated in it. We link this event to the stock market through investor sentiment and misattribution bias. We find a 9% hike in the market return on the post-event...
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, we investigate the nexus between investor attention to COVID-19 and daily returns in 59 countries. We use Google Search Volume Index to account for investor attention. Our empirical findings suggest that the search volume of the pandemic is negatively associated with daily returns. The effect was strong in...
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, we empirically investigate the role of financial constraints on innovation activities. Second, we examine the significance of non-financial support provided by government on firm innovation. We employ firm-level survey data over the period 2006–2017 for 100 countries. Based on the direct indicators of finan...
The coronavirus epidemic has severely affected the small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are more financially constrained compared with large companies. Waking up to this challenge, various countries employed short-run and long-run policies to support SMEs. Using rich firm-level data from 13 countries, this paper explores the impact of the pan...
This study examines whether the flow of information pertaining to COVID-19 helps to contain the pandemic. We capture the information flow of the pandemic using the Google Search Volume Index for the keyword coronavirus+covid in 33 states and union territories in India. We find that the information flow is inversely related to positive cases reporte...
This paper investigates the impact of the central bank's liquidity operations on the financial constraints of the bank-dependent firms. We use the Reserve Bank of India's liquidity operation called Term Repo Operation (TRO) in the study. The empirical analysis is based on a large scale firm-level data for the period 2011–2016 and panel logit estima...

This study examines research and development (R&D) activities of SMEs and large firms. Using the World Bank Enterprise Survey, we find that the percentage of medium-sized firms investing in R&D activities is higher than that of small and large-size firms. Further, we explore the productivity of R&D in terms of introduction of a new product or proce...
The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between the central bank's daily money market operations in the form of Term Repo and Term Reverse Repo operations on stock returns using daily data. Unlike earlier studies, we use two new monetary measures, namely, Repo Spread and Reverse Repo Spread. Controlling for firm‐specific factors...
This paper investigates the relationship between the volatility of government bond yields and liquidity using daily data. We introduce a novel measure of liquidity called Repo Spread created from Reserve Bank of India's recent liquidity operation called Term Repo Operation. The result indicates that liquidity variable has significant explanatory po...
