Industrial parks are as popular as they are controversial, in India and globally. At their best they align infrastructure provision and agglomeration economies to jolt industrial growth.

It contextualizes parks in India, followed by a thick case study of an innovative scheme that appears to buck the trend.

virtually non-existent, despite a large number of programs
following this pattern. The authors use a large household
survey to assess the economic and social impacts of the

This paper studies the impact of a large
debt relief program, intended to attenuate investment
