Regional Disparities in Development

Raj Kumar Sen (Editor) Biswajit Chatterjee (Editor)

Synopsis

Development experiences in India are diverse and there exist wide disparities across region and states in terms of various indicators. The reasons and implications for such disparities have been widely investigated in the literature on economic development of the country. But there are also wide disparities across different regions within a state in terms of selected indicators and attempts to understand such disparities are not many. A compilation 18 analytical articles—this book provides an exhaustive analysis of regional disparity and its consequences with policy prescriptions, in the specific context of the state of West Bengal. Marked with high degree of academic depth, empirical rigour and analytical objectivity, these essays have been authored by eminent economists from the State and deserve the attention of concerned researchers, scholars and policy-makers.
