Planning and Markets in Economic Development of South Asia

这项研究的目的是分析20世纪90年代南亚经济的结构和变化。印度1991年开始的经济改革旨在从混合经济体制向市场经济体制过渡。然而，自1991年以来的10年里，南亚国家周围的政治和经济环境发生了很大变化。印度和巴基斯坦都进行了核试验，发生了亚洲货币危机。在如此大的环境变化下，有必要重新评估南亚国家的经济改革。我们从宏观和微观两个角度分析了南亚国家经济变化的特点。具体而言，我们集中讨论了政府与市场关系的转变、贫穷情况及可采取的消除贫穷措施、私营企业及工会的角色、产业工人的工作满意机制、产业结构转变及农村经济转变等课题，研究结果将以《当代南亚2：南亚经济前景》一书的形式出版。

The purpose of this study was to analyze the structure and change of the South Asian economy during the 1990s. The economic reform of India started in 1991 aimed the transition from the mixed economy system to market-oriented economy system. However, during the ten years that have passed since 1991, political and economic environments surrounding the South Asian countries have changed a lot. India as well as Pakistan pursued nuclear bomb tests and Asian currency crisis occurred. It became necessary to reevaluate the economic reforms of South Asian countries under such big environmental changes.We analyzed the characteristics of economic changes of South Asian countries from the macro- as well as micro-economic approaches. In concrete, we focused on such subjects as the changing relations between the government and markets, poverty situation and possible poverty eradication measures, the roles of private enterprises and trade unions, job satisfaction mechanism of the industrial workers, changing industrial structure and changing rural economy, and so on.The results will be published in a book form, entitled "Contemporary South Asia 2 : Perspectives of the South Asian Economy".
