Overview

Randomized trial analyzes India's advantage in cotton exports, highlighting growth potential.

Key Points

  • This paper aims to assess India's competitiveness in global cotton trade using economic models.
  • Analyzed Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Lafay Index (LFI) for cotton exports.
  • Applied the Gravity model to determine factors influencing cotton exports to major markets.
  • Evaluated data on GDP, exchange rate, and physical distance related to trade.
  • India shows a strong comparative advantage in cotton exports against other major exporters like the USA.
  • RCA and LFI analyses confirm India's specialization in cotton exports.
  • Gravity model results indicate that cotton export levels are influenced by partner countries' GDP, India's GDP, exchange rate, and distance.
