Devashish Mitra, Gerald B. and Daphna Cramer Professor of Global Affairs, was interviewed for the Wall Street Journal article, "Modi’s Disappointing Budget." According to Mitra, instead of raising tariffs India should have emulated China by reforming labor laws and maintaining a low-tariff regime on intermediate goods to attract export-oriented global manufacturing firms. 02/09/18
