How Joseph Stiglitz is discussed in this archive

Referenced in 2 other works — including Report , and INDIA'S EXTERNAL SECTOR — AGENDA FOR REFORMS .

In Report : Stiglitz serves as Karnik's named foil in the globalisation debate — Karnik explicitly prefers Bhagwati's defence of globalisation to Stiglitz's critique, positioning Stiglitz as the leading sceptic Karnik argues against.

In INDIA'S EXTERNAL SECTOR — AGENDA FOR REFORMS : Stiglitz appears twice in Tarapore's argument: as one of the post-crisis authorities on continued interest-rate controls and, more pointedly, in the lecture's controlling phrase that India must not let recent events push it 'from gradualism to zeroism' in external-sector reform.

  • Report · 2005
    • "globalisation (trade liberalisation unambiguously benefits growth and lowers poverty; Bhagwati's "In Defense of Globalisation" is preferred to Stiglitz's critique)" — Karnik names Stiglitz as the principal critic of globalisation he rejects
    • "Globalisation is defended via Bhagwati against Stiglitz: trade liberalisation unambiguously lowers poverty; selective safety nets, not closure, are the correct policy response to transition costs." — key-points reprise restates Stiglitz as the named anti-globalisation foil
  • INDIA'S EXTERNAL SECTOR — AGENDA FOR REFORMS · 1999
    • "invoking John Williamson and Molly Mahar's 1998 Princeton survey, Joseph Stiglitz on continued interest-rate controls, Jeffrey Frankel's ICRIER lecture on the theory of the second best, and Rudiger Dornbusch's dictum that 'capital controls are an idea whose time is past'." — Stiglitz is cited inside the academic survey Tarapore uses to situate his sequencing view
    • "He explicitly cites Stiglitz's phrase to argue that India must not let recent events push it 'from gradualism to zeroism' in external-sector reform." — Stiglitz's 'gradualism to zeroism' phrase becomes the rhetorical centerpiece of Tarapore's warning
