  1. Interesting video of Ashoka Mody. And, nice to see the recorded videos from NIPFP on the youtube channel. It would be nice to get notice of such events/seminars at NIPFP, or, more feasibly, the recorded versions when they become available.

    There are very few publicly available economic speakers doing thought experiments on the global economy (in India) so it is particularly valuable to have the opportunity to listen in. I also wonder if there was a discussion after his talk (which was not recorded), as it seems obvious to have a bunch of questions and discussion points at the end.
