Topic: India – China: A Growth Comparison

IIPM recognizes economics as the vital tool for the success of business and therefore emphasizes its importance by bringing to its students the chance to interact with professors from the best universities of the world. As a part of this endeavor to provide our students world class education, Planman invited Gita Gopinath, Assistant Professor of Economics - University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business. Prof. Gopinath is also associated with Harvard University and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

Prof. Gopinath created an energizing atmosphere to deliver excellence in the field of economics and provided an insight into the aspect of analyzing and comparing growth in economies by way of an intense discussion seminar on India-China: A Growth Comparison.

Professor Gopinath’s seminar enabled IIPM students to scrutinize their classroom economics in the light of the practical economic world. Students got an opportunity to experience world class education and hence draw parallels between various economic theories and their practices.

Prof. Gopinath’s discussion highlighted her analysis by laying emphasis on the  following focus areas:

• Analyzing & comparing economic growth
    
  • Growth Accountings
      
  • Growth of different sectors
       
• External Economic Indicators
