Do US monetary shocks impact Income Inequality across other open economies? What role do exchange rate stability and wage rigidity play?

In our recent article, we addressed these questions and developed a two-agent New Keynesian model to explain the underlying mechanism.

[Ankit Kumar @ankit_econ]

When I set out to design a new elective, I underestimated how much effort it would take.
Thanks to the enthusiastic and kind students at IIM Calcutta, the journey turned out to be more fun and rewarding than I had imagined.
Truly enjoyed every bit of it!

As SEBI plans to revise the rules regarding related-party transactions for Indian firms, it is crucial to understand the factors driving these transactions.

Pleased to share our recent co-authored work on economic conditions as a key driver of RPTs.

[IIM Calcutta @IIM_Calcutta]

The research paper titled, “Economic Conditions and Related Party Transactions in India,” co-authored by Prof Ankit Kumar has been published in the Journal of Contemporary Accounting & Economics.

Key Highlights:

1) Economic growth boosts business RPTs while uncertainty reduces RPTs in India.
2) Business RPTs are more affected by macroeconomic conditions than opportunistic RPTs, which are more sticky.
3) RPTs in manufacturing and profitable firms vary more with economic fluctuation.

For someone who lost his father to COVID, I feel that our generation has a short memory, or maybe we choose to have a short memory.

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

It is really weird that we have collectively chosen to memory hole this fact.
