Development and Public Finance
Essays in Honour of Raja J Chelliah
- D. K. Srivastava - Chief Policy Advisor, EY India, Honorary Professor, Madras School of Economics
- U. Sankar - Madras School of Economics, Chennai, India
All contributions have been exclusively invited for this publication. They represent a weaving of interdependent themes of Development and Public Finance and are sequentially arranged to reflect their interrelationships. Some of the important topics analyzed by the articles are: divestment and privatization; financial transaction tax; carbon tax; fiscal federalism; goods and service tax; decentralization; social policy; and climate change.
Not only is this volume academically rich, it also has an entire section where Dr Chelliah's peers and colleagues talk about him and how they saw him-the man they variously describe as a great scholar, a brilliant economist, and an indomitable crusader.
