He was a special adviser to the Development Research Centre at the World Bank from 1977 to 1980, and has taught at numerous academic institutions over the past four decades, including MIT, Stanford University, and the Indian Statistical Institute. In 2007, he received a Padma Bhushan decoration from the President of India for his contributions to Literature and Education.
He is visiting fellow at the Center for Research on Economic Development and Policy Reform, Stanford University; fellow at the Econometric Society, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and American Philosophical Society; and a foreign associate of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA. He has authored a prolific collection of books and articles on econometrics, world trade, and developing country economics.
The topic of his address was “Changing Interface between Financial and Real Sectors: Lessons form China and India”. In the current global economic scenario where a financial crisis has severely impacted GDP growth rate in practically every country in the world, the importance and topicality of the subject can be hardly over-emphasised.
