Initially named the Social Services Management Unit at the time of
its inception, the Unit has, over the years, has concentrated on
theoretical and quantitative research in macroeconomics, banking and
finance and financial sector analysis, as well as poverty and public
policy. The Unit is wholly funded by the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI), and the faculty enjoys the required autonomy and flexibility in the
choice of studies. A number of studies, which are of interest to the RBI,
have been completed in the Unit. These include studies on Rural
Credit Delivery System, International Financial Markets, Monetary and
Fiscal Policy Issues, Institutional Finance, Rural Development, Inflation
and Stock Markets, and Economics and Exchange Rate Dynamics.
Attempts are on to build a macroeconomic model for simulating alternative
fiscal and monetary policy parameters.
