Causes of Excess Capacity in Indian Manufacturing Sector
Abstrak
Abstract This study delves into the origins of excess capacity by examining the reactions of capital, labor, and capital intensity. To achieve this, we have employed a novel three-layered production function model, estimating the elasticity of substitution between capital and labor as a nested layer, alongside capital intensity, for all industry groups. We have then selectively analyzed a few industry groups for comparative purposes, taking into account the current government policies and manufacturing plant realities. Ultimately, we recommend that policymakers address the issue of excess capacity by stimulating the expansion of manufacturing plants with cutting-edge machinery. Our findings and recommendations are intended to appeal to academics and policymakers alike. JEL Code: L6, L5.
