Trade Liberalization and Firm Productivity: The Case of India (2004, neutral): “While several studies of India’s reform argue that the external crisis of 1991 came as a surprise and opened the way for market-oriented reforms (Hasan et al., 2003; Goyal, 1996; Varshney, 2000), the significant variation in the tariff changes across industries could confound inference.16 It is…”
Imported Intermediate Inputs and Domestic Product Growth: Evidence from India (2009, neutral): “First, the external crisis of 1991, which came as a surprise, opened the way for market oriented reforms [Hasan et al.

Prices, Markups and Trade Reform (2016, background): “First, the external crisis of 1991, which came as a surprise, opened the way for market oriented reforms (Hasan et al. (2007)).9 The liberaliza on of the trade policy was therefore unan cipated by firms in India and not foreseen in their decisions prior to the reform.”

Labor Regulations, Unions, and Social Protection in Developing Countries: Market distortions or Efficient Institutions? (2009, background): “Finally, looking at the effect of regulations in the context of trade liberalization, Hasan, Mitra, and Ramaswamy (2007) find that states with greater regulations have smaller elasticities of labor demand, which suggests that the laws may protect jobs by reducing flexibility.”
Labour Market Regulation and Industrial Performance in India: A Critical Review of the Empirical Evidence (2007, neutral): “Hasan et al. (2003) modify the BB classification in three respects.”
Labor regulations and contract labor use: Evidence from Indian firms (2015, background): “…in formal manufacturing [Besley and Burgess (2004), Ahsan and Pages (2009)], lower demand elasticities that respond less to trade reforms [Hasan, Mitra, and Ramaswamy (2007)], lower growth in industrial output following delicensing [Aghion, Burgess, Redding, and Zilibotti (2008)], lower…”
