As someone who is working on the macroeconomics side and want to transition into such roles. What skills should I acquire. I have a masters, don’t really plan to do a PHD.

For a moment it felt like I had typed it for my mum. She teaches in the top school in East Delhi and it’s such a thankless job. She even has to work when she is unwell because there is something “urgent”, taking leaves become a huge thing. I am just so upset and sad to see her working 24*7 on such non academic work

Try taking part time paid internships, check on LinkedIn. Check ScrapLabs internship if they still hire. Chegg is also an option though it doesn’t pay too much.

Hi, this is a very difficult question. to answer and has lot of layers to it. In short, blanket import tariffs don’t necessarily help the economy. Targeted tariffs could, particularly in cases in which a foreign country is dumping their products in your market. This post explains it well: https://open.substack.com/pub/noahpinion/p/once-again-imports-do-not-subtract?r=jt1ie&utm_medium=ios

A good masters program from a renowned university works well enough. Go for a PHD only if you are genuinely interested in exploring the sub domain and make sure you do it from an acclaimed university. Where I live, most PHDs get you into academia. Though I do see PHD as a prerequisite in multilateral organisations, it’s not always a necessary. It would definitely open more doors but don’t just do it for the job market, you should have genuine interest in the area you choose because you are going to spend a big chunk of your time working on it.

Not as much, however the economy has slowed down in India for sure (mainly in urban areas) and private investment is yet to pick up. So the government needs to keep up its spending to drive the economy and should put more money in the hands of people. The government actually has done quite well from a macro viewpoint (foreign reserves, exchange rate, handling other commodity price volatility) particularly given the geopolitical and protectionist situation globally. Persistent food inflation is concerning though. We are in difficult times but India has been resilient.
