We will try and answer questions like, how is a particular indicator calculated or constructed. What are the important assumptions made in calculating that data? And what is its practical relevance?

    S2E7: Six Years of GST

    In this episode, we embark on a data-driven exploration of India's GST since its inception in 2017. As of June 2023, GST has completed 6 years, so, we thought of analyzing the GST data. As we navigate through the twists and turns, starting from the early challenges and leading up to the present state of affairs. Our exploration unveils the connection between how the economy grows, the way taxes are structured, and how policies are put into action. We'll take a closer look at how GST has impacted different aspects of India's economy, from giving smaller businesses a boost in the formal sector to understanding the complexities of indirect taxes. But here's the big question: Has GST really made a significant difference in increasing tax revenue, or are we still standing where we were before GST came into the picture? If you're curious about the answer, then keep those ears tuned in because we're about to unfold the story. So, are you ready to explore the world of GST with us? Keep listening to find out.

    S2E6: Ethanol: From Farm to Fuels

    If you think that mixing drinks is meant for humans alone, then you might be wrong. Well, humans have developed cocktails for our vehicles too and they are called biofuels. Although the name is too boring for cocktails, they are very fancy. One of the biofuels is named ethanol-blended petrol. The recipe is simple: mix ethanol and petrol in a ratio of 10:90. USA and Brazil are at advanced stages where they are mixing more than 50-80% ethanol. India is in third place globally when it comes to ethanol production. And we are progressing at a rapid pace. India has a natural advantage in it as it is one of the top producers of sugarcane. And Ethanol is sugarcane’s by-product. If we become successful in blending more and more ethanol each year, then our dependence on oil will start declining. We all know that we import millions of barrels of oil per day, and we also know that oil is a finite resource. So, mixing ethanol can make us more self-reliant and also increase farm incomes by making a byproduct more valuable. So, what is India’s Ethanol policy? Where are we heading towards? You can know all this in this episode.

  3. S2E5: The Services Export Story

    S2E5: The Services Export Story

    When we think of exports the thing that comes to our mind is goods – phones, televisions, machinery, oil, plastics, cars etc. We think of huge ships through which goods are transported across countries. Even the government policy is largely focused on goods exports. However, it is services exports where India is having the most traction. Services exports have been consistently growing faster than goods exports for more than two decades now and thus services exports have grown relative to goods exports. While India is the 18th largest exporter of Goods, it is the 7th largest exporter of services. Will our services exports be larger than goods exports? Are there any countries currently which have higher services exports? Is our composition of services more or less concentrated relative to other countries? That and more in this episode of DataSpot.

    S2E4: Agriculture: Beyond Rainfall

    Every year in May, we stumble upon one piece of news and that is - when and how much will it rain this monsoon season? If it rains less, we face issues like farmers’ distress, lower levels of water reservoirs, inflation, etc. But if it rains more, all the infrastructure fault lines erupt. Right now, we are at a time when monsoon has begun but was delayed. Many people believe that deficient, surplus or abnormal rains can pull down the agriculture GDP. It is obvious and commonsensical to believe that this could be true. Although this might be true at the regional level or for a crop-specific output, it is not true at a macro level. Surprised? Well, we will refute this assumption in this episode.

    S2E2: Japan: From Exporter of Goods to Exporter of Capital

    Once upon a time, Japan was growing at a rapid pace. It was an export powerhouse too. In the '80s, its export share crossed 10% of global exports. Now, things have changed. It has been caught in many socio-economic problems that hinder its growth. Its export engine no longer outpaces others. Its share in global exports has fallen to just 3% in 2022, even lower than it was in the 1960s! The country now runs a trade deficit. But still, the country runs a large current account surplus. Sustained low interest rates have meant that the country is now one of the largest exporters of capital in the world. Often neglected, the primary income balance component from the balance of payments, has been more than offsetting the rising trade deficit. But when and how did it happen? That and more in this episode of DataSpot Podcast.

  7. S2E1 - The Utility of the Union Budget

    ٢٦‏/٠٥‏/٢٠٢٣

    S2E1 - The Utility of the Union Budget

    India’s central government presents the Union Budget every year before the Parliament closer to the end of a financial year. It publishes how much it expects to earn through taxes and other means and how much it plans to spend on salaries, infrastructure, social development and other categories in the next financial year. We have seen many times that the actual results are different from the budgeted estimates. Another aspect of the Union Budget is that it becomes an event. Loads of commentary in newspapers, TV channels and social media follow as soon as the finance minister starts the speech, and it goes on and on for the entire week. But have you seen such enthusiasm during the state budgets? Well, we need more analysis of state budgets because states spend a lot more than the central government, especially on development programmes. That’s why we raise these questions: 1. Are budgeted numbers of the Union Budget credible enough? 2. How do states earn and spend money vis-a-vis the central government?
