Abstract

The paper looks at the impact of Central Government trade policies on State-level Exports. State-level data at HS 6-digit level is exploited to look at the impact of Focus Product Scheme (FPS) on the exports of an Indian state called West Bengal. Extending the Goldstein and Khan (1978) framework to include FPS, an export supply function is estimated for the state. Results show that there is a significant positive impact of FPS on state exports. Further the impact of time-specific effects is positive.
