ONLINE SPEAKER SERIES : Finance Lab conducted Dr. Viral V. Acharya’s Virtual Talk

On August 3, 2020, the Finance Lab at IIM Calcutta hosted Dr. Viral V. Acharya’s virtual talk titled “Fiscal Dominance: A Theory of Everything in India” based on a new introductory chapter in his recently released book titled “Quest for Restoring Financial Stability in India” (SAGE Publications India). He proposed his thesis that the notion of fiscal dominance can be applied to potentially all financial sector policies and regulations. He also urged the audience to critically analyze his hypothesis and engage in public discourse for the strengthening of the Indian financial system. IIM Calcutta faculty members across disciplines and students across programs as well as alumni across programs, batches, academia, and industry attended the talk and participated in the Q&A.
