Paper - V  Public Economics

Preamble :

    Role and function of the government in an economy have been changing with the passage of time. The term 'Public Finance' has traditionally been applied to the package of those policies and operations which involve the use of tax and expenditure measures while budgetary policy is an important part of understand the basic problems of use of resources, distribution of income etc. There are vast array of fiscal institutions-tax systems, Expenditure programes, budgetary procedures, stabilization instruments, debt issues, levels of government, etc. which raises a spectrum of issues arising from the operation of these institutions. Further, the existence of externalities, concern for adjustment in the distribution of income and wealth, etc. require political processes for their solution in a manner which combines individual freedom and justice.

Paper - VI   - International Economics

Preamble :
     The course provides a deep understanding about the board principles and theories, which tend to govern the free flow of trade in goods, services and capital both short term and long term, at the global level. Besides, preparing the students about the relevance and limitations of these principles, the contents of the paper, spread different modules, lay stress on the theory and nature of the subject which in turn, will greatly help them to examine the impact of the trade policies followed both at the national and international levels as also their welfare implications at macro level and the distribution of gains from trade to north and south with particular reference to India. The study of the paper under the present era of globalization will train the students about the likely consequences of income employment and social standards and possible policy solutions as the world will more into the 21st century.

Paper - VII     Economics of Growth and Development   

Preamble :-

    The study of economics development has gained importance because of sustained interest of the developing countries in uplifting their economic conditions by restructuring their economics to acquire greater cliversity, efficiency and equity in consonance with their priorities. While few success stories can be counted, many have grappleu with economic problem of narrow economic base, inefficiency and low standard of living. For this and other reasons, there have been many approaches to economic development. In recent times, besides hardcore economic prescriptions to development, concern relegated to back ground like education, health, sanitation and infrastructural development, have found a place in explaining the preference Florence of various economics.
