Article Abstract:

A 34-sector computable general equilibrium model was utilized in order to assess the effects of economic reforms on factor prices, output, trade, and the movement of resources among different areas in the Indian economy. The said macroeconomic reforms were initiated in 1991 to afford the country greater competitiveness in the global market. Results reveal the reforms to have the potential to increase GDP by some 5% along with improved real profits in the agricultural sector.
