Economists and Public Policy in a Globalised World

Economic Theory and Policy Amidst Global Discontent is a collection of essays in honour of Deepak Nayyar, one of India’s leading economists, who, over his working career, has distinguished himself as a great teacher of economics in a wide range of leading institutions in the country and abroad, as a policymaker, occupying such important positions as the Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India, and as an academic administrator in his role as Vice Chancellor of the University of Delhi. Reflecting on Nayyar’s interest and expertise on theory and practice, the 21 essays in the book straddle a wide range of topics, from the theoretical to practical and policy-oriented papers. Further, the chapters are written by well-known economists from within the country and abroad. In this way, the book offers something for both, the more theoretically inclined, as well as more empirically-oriented readers.
