INDIA’S N EW GROWTH AND TRADE – A VIEW

Dr.Gouher Ahmed

It is high time for a trade take-off of India, of bridging trade deficit, with a high and inclusive growth rate said to be in operation. At an Average of 8.5 per cent during the years (2004-11) and slowed down to 6.5 per cent in (2011-12) of UPA rule, is said to be ‘historical’ and ‘unprecedented’ by the renowned economist Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh. The destination of the new growth rate is 10 per cent and more growth over a long period of time to the India economy to the league of developed countries. But, the new the growth is well known to be coming at a great human, environmental and value costs, with high WPI and food prices, environmental degradation and degradation especially of the great farming class. It’s a growth of common man suffering judged against high prices it is a zero sum or even negative game. In trade, the driving forces are woeful SEZs and FTAs. Against the Establishment’s claims of Indian economy being free from any crisis, the economy was quite hit in growth and trade by the global economic crisis of 2008. Over-all, the external or trade record of the new growth is burgeoning trade deficit, and an increasingly imbalanced trade economy. Hence, a revision of growth and trade policies are called for.

The Effect of Migrant Remittances on Economic Growth through Education:The Case of Tunisia

Achouak BARGUELLIL and Mohamed El Hedi ZAIEM

This paper aims at studying the effect of migrant remittances on economic growth. To this end, we used a modified version of Kragoz [2009] to examine the relationship between economic growth, migrant remittances and education. The application of cointegration on the variables related to Tunisian economy, observed over the period 1976-2006, points to the presence of a long-term relationship between the studied variables. The obtained results also indicate that the direct effect of remittances on economic growth is negative while the indirect effect induced by the inclusion of education is positive.
