Why closing a business is so difficult in India – and the costs of staying open Last week on VoxDev w/ @shoumitro_c (@SAISHopkins), Kala Krishna (@PennStateEcon), @KalyaniPadmaku2 (@fsueconomics @FSUResearch) & Yingyan Zhao (@ElliottSchoolGW): voxdev.org/topic/firms/wh…
A new article by @shoumitro_c, @KalaMarathe, @KalyaniPadmaku2 & @Yingyan_Zhao8 finds that institutional exit barriers faced by manufacturing firms in India slow firm exit, deter entry, keep unproductive firms alive, and ⬇️ aggregate output and productivity ideasforindia.in/topics/product…
🆕 Why closing a business is so difficult in India – and the costs of staying open Today on VoxDev w/ @shoumitro_c (@SAISHopkins), Kala Krishna (@PennStateEcon), @KalyaniPadmaku2 (@fsueconomics @FSUResearch) & Yingyan Zhao (@ElliottSchoolGW): voxdev.org/topic/firms/wh…
As India responds to tariff shock to improve competitiveness, power sector reforms are critical: @IndianExpress: indianexpress.com/article/opinio… New facts: Electricity imposes a 100% tax on mfg. because middle class & rich households are heavily subsidised, almost as much as farmers
Exit costs are entry costs: Why India needs to ease exit barriers for manufacturing firms Shoumitro Chatterjee @JohnsHopkins, @KalaMarathe, Kalyani Padmakumar @FloridaState, Yingyan Zhao @GWUEconomics ow.ly/nE3650WI2oa

How will climate change shape land markets and farm sizes in the developing world? Last week on VoxDev w/ @Arteaga_Jul (@the_IDB), @nico_de_roux (@EconomiaUAndes), @mgafarog (@BancoRepublica) & @HPellegrina (@nd_econ): voxdev.org/topic/agricult…
"India isn’t as big a market as we think. The poor don’t spend & the rich save" @shoumitro_c says our growth strategy must shift - from chasing tech to backing textiles, food & footwear. We missed the bus after 2008 - we musn't now. #TheGlobalReset #Trump @_prashantnair
A sobering case study of the exit barriers faced by firms in India. The recent Supreme Court ruling rejecting Bhushan Steel's insolvency plan, which was approved under the IBC, is another case in point. From a cool paper by @shoumitro_c et al. Link: pages.jh.edu/schatt20/paper…
Exit barriers are entry barriers and in India they drive the low share of manufacturing production, from @shoumitro_c, Kala Krishna, Kalyani Padmakumar, and Yingyan Zhao nber.org/papers/w33830
"Exit barriers reduce entry, misallocate resources and create a long right tail in the age distribution of firms." From a new paper by @shoumitro_c, Kala Krishna, Kalyani Padmakumar and Yingyan Zhao: "No Country for Dying Firms: Evidence from India"
New research from @shoumitro_c et al. finds that exit barriers are an important reason for India’s underdeveloped manufacturing sector. These barriers not only deter entry but also trap resources in unproductive firms.
