dc.description.abstract | DURING the last few years we have heard
and read quite a bit about how the past
industrial and trade policies stifled Indian
industry and the recent policy reforms would
release the caged tiger. Sometimes the excess
obsession with the restrictive nature of the
previous policies appears to make many
researchers blind to several other important
aspects of the industrial structure and its
evolution; in the process, they fail to identify
the important gaps and shortcomings of the
present policy reforms. One simple example
is that one has heard several times how the
industrial licensing had been a major source
of entry barrier and long run market power
which, in turn, made Indian oligopoly firms
highly X-inefficient. But one rarely comes
across a serious analysis of othfer important
sources of entry barriers like capital market
imperfections and high domestic market
transaction costs, which persist even in the
post-liberalisation period | |
