Exploring the asymmetric effect of fiscal policy instruments in encountering environmental degradation: proposing an SDG framework for India.

Asian countries are facing difficulties in attaining sustainable development goals (SDGs), and India is not an exception to it, with environmental degradation being one of the primary issues. Therefore, a policy-level reorientation may be required to address it. From this standpoint, fiscal policy instruments may come in handy towards fully integrating the SDGs into its agenda.

Exploring the asymmetric effect of fiscal decentralization on economic growth and environmental quality: evidence from India.

In recent years, environmental issues have become controversial, and policymakers are discovering new predictors of carbon emissions. Some economists/researchers have advocated for fiscal decentralization to improve the quality of the environment by offering more financial authority to provincial/local and sub-national governments. Therefore, this work aims to inspect the effect of fiscal decentralization on economic growth and environmental quality in India by taking data from 1996 to 2021.

Macroeconomic factors and frequency domain causality between Gold and Silver returns in India.

This paper examines the relationship between gold and silver returns in India, using monthly data for the period May 1991 to June 2018. To this end, we employ the recently developed frequency domain rolling-window analysis (which is able to show that transitory high frequency shocks are not equal to permanent low frequency shocks over time), as well as the conditional, partial conditional, difference conditional approaches, in addition to the Toda Yamamoto and frequency domain Granger Causalities methods. Further, the relationship is examined in conditional and unconditional frameworks.
