In INFLATION IN INDIA : Bapat invokes Colin Clark's 25 per cent of national income threshold as the empirical benchmark for when total taxation becomes inflationary, using it to argue that Indian taxation in 1967-68 (18.7 per cent) had not yet crossed the inflationary line.

In INDIAN PLANNING —PAST & FUTURE : Colin Clark's investment-employment ratio is one of the analytic instruments Das uses to argue that fifteen years of planning failed to translate aggregate investment into minimum human needs for food, clothing, and shelter.
In Indian Planning and the Common Man : Colin Clark appears in Shenoy's closing 21-item reading list, alongside Hayek, Mises, Erhard, Bauer and Hazlitt, as one of the classical-liberal economists Shenoy commends to Indian readers.

- "1967-68 taxation at 18.7 per cent of national income was below Colin Clark's 20-25 per cent inflationary threshold." — key-points line restating the Clark benchmark
- INFLATION IN INDIA · 1972
- "total taxation in 1967-68, at 18.7 per cent of national income, was still below Colin Clark's 25 per cent inflationary threshold" — Clark's threshold underpins Bapat's rejection of taxation as a primary cause of Indian inflation
- "1967-68 total taxation at 18.7 per cent of national income falls short of Colin Clark's 25 per cent threshold." — key-points restatement of the Clark benchmark in Bapat's diagnosis

- INDIAN PLANNING —PAST & FUTURE · 1966

- Indian Planning and the Common Man · 1962
- "The appendix's 21-item reading list — Hayek (multiple), Mises, Robbins, Roepke, Erhard, Colin Clark, P. T. Bauer, Henry Hazlitt — anchors the polemic in the Mont Pelerin/classical-liberal tradition." — Colin Clark is named in Shenoy's canon-building appendix
