Item Economic and agricultural contributions of fisheries in India: a comparison between inland and marine fisheries(SN Business and Economics, 2025-12-08) Villanthenkodath, Muhammed Ashiq; Pal, ShreyaThis study investigates the impact of marine and inland fisheries on economic and agricultural growth in India using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, with robustness checks through the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method, incorporating capital and labor as additional determinants. The findings reveal that marine fisheries positively influence economic growth in the short run but have no significant long-term impact, whereas they enhance agricultural growth in the long run but negatively affect it in the short term. However, inland fisheries contribute positively to economic growth in both time horizons but adversely impact agricultural growth. Additionally, capital investment fosters economic growth but hampers agricultural growth, while labor negatively affects both sectors over time. Based on these findings, the study proposes targeted policies, including temporary subsidies, tax incentives, and infrastructure development to maximize the short-term economic benefits of marine fisheries, while ensuring long-term sustainability through marine eco-tourism, and responsible fishing practices. For agriculture, coastal resource management programs and environmental regulations can mitigate short-term disruptions, whereas fish-based organic fertilizers and integrated coastal aquaculture systems can maximize long-term benefits. To balance the impact of capital investment, policies should encourage sustainable farming technologies and efficient land-use planning. Additionally, labor productivity can be improved through skill development, mechanization, and agri-tech adoption. This study’s novel contribution lies in segregating the effects of marine and inland fisheries on economic and agricultural growth, making it the first of its kind in the Indian context, providing valuable insights for policymakers to optimize fisheries’ role in fostering sustainable development.Item Assessing the relative impact of inland and marine fish production on fishing load capacity factor: Insights for sustainable fisheries management(Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2025-06) Villanthenkodath, Muhammed Ashiq; Pal, ShreyaPromoting environmental sustainability, including the preservation of marine ecosystems, is a shared responsibility that requires the active engagement of diverse stakeholders. Thus, this study aims to find out how fish production in inland and marine areas affects the fishing load capacity factor in India from 1990 to 2022, considering economic growth and renewable energy consumption as additional covariates. For this purpose, the study employs both the Dynamic Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (DYNARDL) simulations and the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound testing models. The findings reveal a valid long-run relationship for the fishing load capacity factor function. Further, the findings show that inland fish production improves the fishing load capacity factor in the long run, though this effect is statistically insignificant in the short run. In contrast, marine fish production degrades the fishing load capacity in both the short and long run. Similarly, economic growth has significantly reduced the fishing load capacity factor in both time frames. Conversely, renewable energy consumption also shows a long-run negative impact on the fishing load capacity factor, although the short-run effect is insignificant. Therefore, the research findings suggest that the Indian government should prioritize implementing green economic policies for the fisheries sector, including environmental financing and promoting sustainable fishery products not limited to inland fish production but for marine fish production, to improve the fishing load capacity factor.Item Global value chains and economic growth: A study of resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic(Journal of International Development, 2023-12-27) Jangam, Bhushan Praveen; Venkatesh,Hari; Tiwari,Aviral KumarThis research examines the impact of trade related to global value chains (GVCs) and the COVID-19 pandemic on economic growth. To achieve this, we analyse a panel of 60 countries spanning from 2007 to 2021. Various models are estimated using the system generalized method of moments technique. The primary findings are as follows: Firstly, GVC trade is identified as a positive and beneficial factor influencing economic growth. Secondly, the interaction between COVID and GVCs reveals that GVCs continue to have a positive impact on economic growth even during the pandemic. Lastly, consistent and comparable results are observed across different GVC components, sectors and country groups. These outcomes provide valuable insights for policymakers, emphasizing the importance of GVC trade in fostering economic growth.
