Growth miracles typically have been studied at the country level.
The Making of Miracles in Indian States breaks from that tradition
and studies three growth miracles in India at the level of the
state: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, and Gujarat. These are three of the
largest and most diverse states in India. Andhra Pradesh is
situated in the south of India, Bihar in the east, and Gujarat in
the west. Bihar is the poorest among all states in India, Gujarat
the third richest among the largest eighteen states, and Andhra
Pradesh in the middle. Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat have long coastal
lines while Bihar is landlocked. Yet, all of these states have
grown at rates exceeding 8% for an entire decade in the 21st
century. Despite many differences in the initial conditions,
several common threads tie the high-growth experiences of the three
states. First, accelerated growth has permitted acceleration in the
growth of development expenditures in all three states, which has
helped improve connectivity to markets. Alongside this growth,
poverty has seen accelerated decline. Second, the composition of
growth matters. Growth in high-value commodities such as fruits and
vegetables, commercial crops, dairy, and animal husbandry in Andhra
Pradesh and Gujarat has led to accelerated reduction in rural
poverty. However, the failure of labor-intensive industry has
stunted the migration of workers out of agriculture into industry.
Third, the quality of leadership that brings improved governance
with it is central to improved outcomes in the states. Visionary
leaders--Chandrababu Naidu in Andhra Pradesh, Nitish Kumar in
Bihar, and Narendra Modi in Gujarat--played critical roles in the
making of all three miracles. Fourth, the three studies also bring
out the importance of pro-market reforms and the adoption of
technology in development. Finally, the studies show that good
economics is also good politics: voters reward the chief ministers
who bring about significant improvement to the people's lives.
