Basu Co-Authors Op-Ed for Hindustan Times

Content

Deepankar Basu, economics, and economics alumnus Kartik Misra have authored an op-ed for the Hindustan Times. "Guarantee Procurement, Not Just Minimum Prices" discusses a recent study by Basu and Misra that examines the effect of minimum support prices (MSP) on farm incomes and agricultural wages. 

"While our research shows that the guarantee of MSP can exert upward pressure on agricultural prices and farm incomes, the real issue is that of making this guarantee binding," note the authors.
