Book Description
The most restrictive laws make it harder to fire permanent workers for firms. However, these laws do not apply to workers hired through contractors (contract workers). Using firm-level data from India, I find that compared to firms in flexible labor regulations, those in more restrictive labor regimes hire more contract workers as a response to transitory local demand shocks. I find no differential response in hiring of permanent workers by firms faced with these shocks. This suggests that firms circumvent labor laws by hiring workers indirectly through contractors in the face of economic fluctuations.

Book Description
In this thesis, I study the behavior of industrial firms in India in the electricity market and with respect to locational choice and environmental regulation. In the first chapter, I study the competitive effects of transmission infrastructure on market outcomes in the Indian day-ahead electricity market. Transmission constraints may increase local market power by limiting competition across regions. I find that bidders in import-constrained regions do raise bid prices in response to congestion and I simulate the effects of relaxing transmission constraints using a structural model of power-market bidding. The welfare gain from infrastructure expansion is large as a share of market surplus and mostly due to the strategic responses of bidders to a better-integrated market. In the second chapter, I study the agglomeration of manufacturing activity in India. Industry in India is shown to be spatially agglomerated to an extent similar to that observed in the United States and perhaps slightly greater. All the Marshallian forces of linkages in goods, labor and ideas between industries are important for industrial colocation, with hiring similar workers the strongest predictor of coagglomeration patterns. Finally, in the third chapter, my advisors, Esther Duflo and Michael Greenstone, Rohini Pande and I measure the effects of auditor independence on the reliability of reports by third-party environmental auditors and the regulatory compliance of the firms they audit, using a field experiment. We find that a reformed audit system in which auditors were randomly assigned to plants, monitored and given incentives for accuracy greatly improves the accuracy of auditor reporting, as measured by independent backchecks of true pollution levels. Moreover, the treatment plants subject to greater scrutiny under the reformed audit system responded by reducing pollution output relative to the control group.

In the second chapter, I analyze the relationship between financial constraints faced by the Indian manufacturing firms and their export participation decision. I find that the firms that enter the export market are financially healthier than the firms that cater only to the domestic market. I also verify that financial health is the cause and not a consequence of exports.

Book Description
My dissertation centers around the following questions: why is manufacturing productivity in India lower than in the U.S. and how large are the potential gains from Indian economic reforms? I focus in particular on the effects of frictions which distort firm behavior, and on the importance of linkages between firms and sectors through intermediate inputs. The first chapter studies how easily plants are able to substitute between intermediate inputs sourced from different sectors of the economy. We argue that this is an important determinant of whether economic development policies should target specific sectors of the economy or follow a 'big push' approach of advancing all sectors together. The second chapter studies the importance of misallocation of inputs across manufacturing plants in India and the U.S. We propose a way to estimate the gaps in true marginal products across plants even in the presence of measurement error in survey data. The third chapter studies the importance of the Indian distribution sector as a constraint to the growth of Indian manufacturing plants. We document that larger plants spend a larger share of their sales on distribution, and investigate how productivity improvements in distribution services would impact the manufacturing sector.

Book Description
Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are considered the backbone of the Indian economy, but limited access to external finance can be a major constraint which hinders their growth and productivity. This barrier acts as a double-edged sword in the case of women and socially disadvantaged owners who are also subjected to discrimination in credit markets. This book investigates the role of credit constraints in determining the performance of MSMEs in India and considers how gender- and caste-based prejudices influence and inform a firm owner’s access to formal credit. Combining micro-econometric techniques with large-scale firm surveys, it offers readers new findings, which shed light on the effect of ownership characteristics on credit access and firm performance. It also examines recent credit policy initiatives aimed at weaker sections of society including Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and women-owned enterprises and puts forward valuable policy recommendations. This volume will serve as a useful reference text for students and researchers of economics, finance, business and management, entrepreneurship, credit policy, development economics, caste discrimination, gender discrimination and South Asian studies.

Book Description
Every organization is like a delicate ecosystem. It needs to be nurtured with care and concern just as a natural ecosystem is ecologically nurtured. For this, organizational behavior is the instrument. Organizational behavior is the study of human behavior in organizational settings including the interface of human beings among themselves, the interface of human beings with their and other external organizations, and the behavior of organizations with respect to individuals and other organizations. Individual behavior is an integral part of organizational behavior. As individuals and organizations devote the needed attention to the subject, the challenging issue of work–life balance is resolved. This major work on organizational behavior, with its ninety chapters, is divided into fifteen sections, each of which deals with a specific theme relating to factors impacting and is impacted by organizational behavior. This book provides multiple constructs that facilitate optimal work–life balance. This book will serve as a companion text for students and faculty specializing in organizational behavior and general management. Academicians, industry managers, and leaders as well as administrators and policy makers will find this book a useful thought-primer and guide for effective organizational management. More importantly, the several propositions made in the book would help individuals and institutions achieve competitive strength, emotional stability, and self-actualization through optimal work–life balance.

Book Description
This paper analyzes the effects of selected structural reforms on output and employment in the short and medium term. It uses a comprehensive cross-country firm-level dataset covering both advanced and emerging market economies over the period 2003-2014. In line with previous studies, it finds that structural reforms have in general a positive impact on output and employment in the medium term. Furthermore, the paper also assesses whether the impact of structural reforms varies with firm-specific characteristics, such as size, leverage, profitability, and sector. We find evidence that firm characteristics do influence the effectiveness of structural reforms. These findings have relevant policy implications as they help policymakers tailor the design of structural reforms to maximize their payoffs, taking into account their heterogeneous impact on firms.
