Using loan-level administrative data and a regulatory shock that induced some banks to redirect lending from non-financial firms to Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs), we find that firms dependent on such banks witness a contraction in total borrowing and experience worse real outcomes.

It is important to understand this, especially in the context of India, where around 49% of the working-age population choose not to work. Among women, about 75% are out of the labor force.

With a growing economy and declining poverty, India faces a curious challenge in providing a social safety net to its citizens. Using data from three rounds of the India Human Development Survey (IHDS), collected in 2004-5, 2011-12, and 2022-24, this paper shows that households face considerable transition in and out of poverty as the economy grows. Historically, India’s approach to social safety nets has involved identifying the poor and providing them with priority access to various social protection programmes that include both in-kind and cash assistance—however, the nature of poverty changes with economic growth. This churn in households’ economic circumstances makes it difficult to identify and target the poor precisely.
