This study investigates the capability of innovation in India from a neo-Schumpeterian perspective, mainly focusing on the non-R&D aspects. We choose this focus for three reasons: (i) Based on our exploratory analysis, the investigation of innovation needs to go beyond the R&D effort (of manufacturing firms); (ii) R&D outlays alone may not fully ex...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of financial inclusion and trade openness on the economic development of 27 European Union (EU) nations. The sample countries are classified into low-income, high-income, old-EU, and new-EU members; this distinction allows us to provide more constructive and practical policy implications...

This article evaluates the productivity growth of Indian banks during the pre‐ and post‐global financial crisis of 2008. Productivity is calculated across banking groups, such as public, private, and foreign peers, using Malmquist Productivity Index through data envelopment analysis. Empirical findings indicate that the efficiency and productivity...

This study aims to investigate the impact of financial inclusion and trade openness on economic development in a sample of 27 European Union (EU) nations. Further, we classify our sample countries into low-income, high-income, old-EU, and new-EU members to provide more constructive policy and practical implications for the EU countries. To achieve...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether innovation plays a significant role in the total factor productivity (TFP) growth in India at an aggregate level. Design/methodology/approach This study first estimates the TFP growth using a growth accounting framework. In the second stage, the authors examine the long-run and short-run impa...

This study examines the effects of innovation on productivity of Indian Manufacturing firms. Despite the voluminous literature on this area, the demanding line, i.e., various types of innovation effects on productivity growth, received little attention particularly in the Indian context; hence, our study fills the gap by employing firm-level data f...

This paper examines various factors that hamper the innovation activities in selected Indian manufacturing firms. To achieve this, we collect data from 190 manufacturing firms located in Hyderabad and Bengaluru cities through a primary survey. Our results based on field survey reveal that factors such as uncertain outcomes from the future innovatio...

While few studies in India examine the twin-deficit hypothesis and determinants of current account deficit, but there is hardly any study which examines the impact of total factor productivity combined with fiscal deficit on current account deficit. This study made an attempt to examine this issueusing annual data from 1970 to 2013. We first estima...
