IIMA Roundtable on Indian Economy

Financial Markets play an important role in the Indian economy. Study and analysis of financial markets require high quality data, research, and insights to engage in the debate and influence policy makers, institutions, and other stakeholders. In this context, the Misra Centre for Financial Markets and Economy, set up at IIMA, is a Centre of excellence, conducting research on the financial markets and economy in India. This Centre provides impetus for focused research, teaching, and knowledge dissemination on contemporary issues related to financial markets within the overall economic framework.

Activities:

The activities of the Centre broadly consist of:

1. Applied Research – The Misra Centre undertakes practical and executable research and produces research papers, case studies, and periodic reports on financial markets and economy (in the Indian context with global markets as the reference/benchmark) that address issues related to formulation of policy, market structure/regulations including central banks' mandate, monetary policy, fiscal developments, microstructure including commodities, banking, bond markets, SME Financing, financial inclusion, insurance, real estate etc. This is to facilitate wider scope for research by faculty and the doctoral students working at the intersection of finance and economics. The Centre also procures global financial data available with other agencies, in addition to building quality data, analytics, and insightful knowledge on the Indian financial markets and economy.
2. Knowledge dissemination – The Centre widely disseminates research reports/findings to policy makers, academia, industry, media, analysts, and other key stake holders through a variety of channels viz. seminars, conferences, roundtable discussions, authored articles, media outreach, etc. The Centre regularly organizes workshops and seminars on the key issues facing the economy and the financial markets
3. Engagement – The Centre engages with key stakeholders, such as industry leaders, academics, government, and policy makers, about the new developments in the economy and financial markets, including the evolving global economic scenario and developments in India’s trading partners. The Centre occasionally invites visitors (Faculty, PhD students, Fellows/Scholars) from universities and organizations in India and abroad for collaborative research.
