What started as a sub-prime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2007 snowballed into global recession and later transformed into an economic crisis, if not a sociopolitical one. This was followed by the euro area debt crisis. While the period 2014–9 was marked by a return to the growth trajectory, albeit of the new normal variety, various headwinds affected such growth, including the United States–China trade war and the initially ambiguous Brexit signals culminating in the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union. In 2020, the world witnessed the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and a return to more aggressive fiscal and monetary stimuli. In this revised edition of Financial and Fiscal Policies, the authors highlight the challenges posed by the global crisis and analyse the interactions between monetary, fiscal, and financial policies, exploring cross-country experiences, especially the economics of the euro area and India. Focusing on public debt management, sovereign debt restructuring, taxation, and financial sector and sub-national finance regulation, this book offers an understanding of future institutional arrangements.

Law of one price continues to be a central tenet of Financial Economics. This book is devoted towards examining law of one price in the context of dually-listed shares of Indian companies. Put simply, this book delves on the relationship between the prices of domestic shares issued by Indian companies and the prices of foreign shares issued by the same companies. It also examines the evolving uncertainty in relationships between such dually-listed shares issued by Indian companies. It draws upon the insights that we garnered over the years while working on technical papers in this area. The book, thus, undertakes concerted efforts to present facts in a manner that sensitise and meaningfully inform readers of the prevalent breadth and depth of dual-listing (cross-listing) landscape globally and more so, locally (India).

The world of economics and management is being reshaped in more ways than one including rapid advancements in technology and business practices. This book weaves together a diverse set of issues such as consumption patterns, wealth disparities and the management, behaviour and financial health of businesses and consumers to analyse the effectiveness of economic and business strategies. Rapid technological advancements along with the need for cost-effectiveness and convenience are making service providers embrace technology as a partner rather than a tool in their economic journey. Relatedly, traditional management philosophy is coming under a scanner, with an increasing emphasis on holistic development of the organization, rather than a top-down approach, as has been the case in the past. Understanding major developments in economic and financial policymaking has perennially been a key concern of public policy, shaped by recent global and related developments, this has necessitated a relook at these issues, couched in a cross-cutting perspective. Viewed from this standpoint, the present volume, written to honour the rich academic work of the eminent economist Professor Anindya Sen intersects this triad of economics, finance and public policy that are integral to policy thinking and its formulation. The smorgasbord of research ideas, involving both theoretical analysis and empirical evidence, presented in this volume, provides useful perspectives on the drivers that are continually reshaping the dynamism in the world around us and, in the process, integrates a multidisciplinary perspective of focusing on several pertinent policy challenges.This book will be useful to researchers and students of economics, finance and public policy, economic theorists, microeconomics, and even to those with a broader canvass such as researchers in macroeconomics, international economics, business, management and marketing.

Banking and finance has emerged as a leading sector of the Indian economy. Notwithstanding this, due to its technical nature, the sector has by and large remained outside the purview of the uninitiated readers. The Routledge Handbook of Indian Banking and Finance is devoted to analytical accounts of various aspects of Indian banking and finance and tries to address this vacuum.Written in non-technical language by prominent academics and industry experts, each chapter explores the basic tenets and current challenges within Indian banking and finance across three core areas: institutions, markets, and regulation. Institutions cover issues relating to commercial banks, co-operative banks, technological aspects of banking, mutual funds, insurance, or financial inclusion. Various markets are covered as well, and these include equity, bond, commodities, private equity, forex, money, real estate finance, or alternative assets. The regulatory section addresses the regulation of banking, the risk management practices and norms in the banking sector, insurance, pension funds, the securities market, and the role of government in finance. The chapters provide a comprehensive narrative tracing the evolutionary chronicle of a particular segment of the financial sector while delving into current issues and speculating on the shape of things to come.Offering comprehensive coverage, this book will be a go-to resource for beginners and specialists alike. It will be of interest to those working with corporate finance, banking, finance, economics, business and industry, management and marketing, and banking- and finance-related law.
