Ideas and Institutions
“Ideas and Institutions” is a monthly newsletter put out by the Carnegie India Political Economy Team.
This newsletter presents analysis of contemporary developments in India’s political economy, and review of writings relevant to India’s development path. We seek to analyze and inform the institutional and policy choices that India is making in its development journey. We also reflect on how India’s political economy shapes these choices and the effects that these choices have on the political economy order.
You can expect to see our analysis on public finance, financial sector policies, technology policy, urbanization, labor markets, agriculture, growth strategy, state-capital relations, public administration, and other areas.
Essays from Ideas and Institutions: Thematic Compendiums

Researchers in the program offer a critical look into some of the most pressing and complex questions facing India today—from democratic politics and economic growth to land markets and urbanization. These compendiums provide valuable insights into the complexities and nuances of a broad theme. Taken together, each set of essays contributes to a better understanding of the evolving dynamics that shape the country’s economic development.
