India : Defining and Explaining Inclusive Growth and Poverty Reduction / Rahul Anand, Volodymyr Tulin, Naresh Kumar.

Robust economic growth has been a major driver of poverty reduction and inclusiveness in India. We explore the role of economic policies and macrofinancial conditions in explaining inclusive growth and its components, using a new measure of inclusive growth. Social expenditures, spending on education, and educational attainment rates are important for fostering inclusive growth. Macro-financial stability, with particular attention to inflation risks, is also criticial for promoting inclusive growth. Mode of access: Internet Kumar, Naresh. Tulin, Volodymyr.
