Input Usage and Productivity in Indian Manufacturing Plants

This paper analyzes the scale and productivity consequences of varied input use in Indian manufacturing using detailed plant-level data. Counts of distinct material inputs are higher in urban settings than in rural locations, unconditionally and co...

For the unorganized sector, there is little correlation of input counts and local conditions, for better or for worse, and a more modest link to productivity outcomes. 2014-02-04T19:12:21Z 2014-02-04T19:12:21Z 2013-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2013/10/18405000/input-usage-productivity-indian-manufacturing-plants http://hdl.handle.net/10986/16874 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 6656 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research South Asia India
