“…This discussion largely relates to domestic regulations in the respective sectors and is not covered here due to space restrictions. 15 This is reinforced by the findings ofChadha et al (1998), who show that the gains from trade liberalisation in India are magnified when combined with domestic reforms.…”

This article provides an analytical discussion of the sources of the 1991 BOP crisis and the trade and exchange rate reforms that followed thereafter. The BOP crisis offers a natural experiment to study policy complementarities in the Indian context. This article hopes to encourage more formal modern macrowork in this area. The article argues that exchange controls (along with the pegged regime), implemented partly through import quotas, lead to a black market for foreign exchange and encouraged underinvoicing of exports, thereby, aggravating the BOP crisis. It discusses what exchange rate reforms were intended to come out of the crisis, and to what extent these have been effective in lowering the black market premium on foreign exchange and improving India's trade balance.

An Analysis of Factors Influencing the Anti‐dumping Behaviour in India

The use of anti-dumping measures as a trade protection tool, has increased phenomenally during the last decade. One significant aspect of this new trend is the increasing involvement of developing countries. India is one such country which has emerged as a very frequent user of anti-dumping measures, surpassing even the traditional users. It had initiated more than 300 anti-dumping cases by the end of 2002-03. Many of these cases are against developing countries. Most of the cases are concentrated in narrow range product groups, like chemicals and petrochemicals, iron and steel, pharmaceuticals and textiles. This study examines India's experience with anti-dumping measures. The main objective of the study is to identify the factors which might have influenced the anti-dumping behaviour in India. Discussion of these factors shows that imports have increased considerably. This is particularly true for a number of developing countries facing dumping charges in India. At the same time, many of the domestic producers of the like products have performed poorly during the last decade. Such trends may instigate the import-competing industries to seek anti-dumping protection and may also influence the authority to provide that. However, the results of our statistical exercise show that, although imports and performance of the domestic industry might have influenced the initiation of anti-dumping cases, these factors did not seem to significantly influence the final decision of the authority. The results rather indicated a tendency on the part of the authority to provide anti-dumping protection to industries, which are characterised by a large number of firms.
