Grossly Doubtful Production: A Mis-estimation Of India's GDP Growth Rate - a podcast by IVM Podcasts

A recent paper by former Chief Economic Advisor of India, Arvind Subramanian made a shocking claim that India's GDP growth between 2011-12 and 2016-17 was 4.5 per cent per year, substantially lower than the oft-quoted figure of 7 per cent. This finding serves as a reminder that not all's well in the economic engine and incrementalism can't resolve India's growth challenge. Nitin Pai and Anupam Manur join Pranay Kotasthane to discuss.
