    This note summarizes the key findings of
    the attached consultant report. India is still primarily a
    rural, agrarian economy in which land use and land rights
    are an emotional issue. Prior to 1990 the presumption was
    that only residual land (non agricultural) would be made
    available for industrial use and because the state was the
    principal industrial investor the state would acquire any
    land needed. After 1990 the expectation was that private

    Although a large literature discusses
    the productivity effects of land fragmentation, measurement
    and potential endogeneity issues are often overlooked. This
    paper uses several measures of fragmentation and controls
    for endogeneity and crop choice by looking at inherited
    paddy and wheat plots to show that these issues matter
    empirically. While crop choice can mitigate effects,
    fragmentation as measured by the Simpson index increases

    This paper pilots an approach to
    identifying, categorizing, and mapping public land owned by
    the central, state, and local government in urban developed

    information on plot sizes, location, and ownership that is
    publicly available for all areas covered by town planning
    schemes. The study examines the extent of unutilized and
    underutilized public land, which excludes all cemeteries,

    This paper quantifies the misallocation of manufacturing output and factors of production between establishments across Indian districts during 1989-2010. It first distills a number of stylized facts about misallocation in India, and demonstrates the validity of misallocation metrics by connecting them to regulatory changes in India that affected real property. With this background, the study next quantifies the implications and determinants of factor and output misallocation.

    Growing research and policy interest
    focuses on the misallocation of output and factors of
    production in developing economies. This paper considers the
    possible misallocation of financial loans. Using plant-level
    data on the organized and unorganized sectors, the paper
    describes the temporal, geographic, and industry
    distributions of financial loans. The focus of the analysis
    is the hypothesis that land misallocation might be an

    As India continues to urbanize and move
    towards a less agricultural- and more industry-based
    economy, land demands will continue to grow. Its urban
    population is expected to increase by more than 200 million
    by 2030, requiring 4 to 8 million hectares of land for
    residential use alone. Demands for infrastructure and
    industry could add a similar amount, summing to total land
    demand of 5 to10 percent of the land area currently used for
