"Missing" – India's Chief Economic Adviser

Demonetisation: Marginalisation of India's Central Bank

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

The Economic Survey is the flagship document of the Ministry of Finance, presented by the Finance Minister to Parliament on a day prior to the release of the Union Budget. This prestigious economic document is the responsibility of the chief economic advisor to the Indian government and is widely read by academics and those interested in the state of the Indian economy. Its premier status as the most credible annual review of the Indian economy implies that its own sources and citations withstand academic scrutiny. The Economic Survey 2016-2017 is no doubt a mine of information and packed with interesting research and innovative use of Big Data such as internal migration of workers using the railways. At the same time, it has some unusual citations and references on some critical subjects which hardly befit a document of such weight.
