The research record presented here covers international trade and development questions through empirical economic analysis. The publications address export competitiveness, exchange-rate asymmetries, product sophistication, human capital and ecological footprints. Together, these studies reflect an applied research agenda concerned with trade performance and sustainable economic development. [1][3]

Keywords

Export competitiveness; international trade; BRICS; India; China; product sophistication; NARDL; MMQR; human capital; ecological footprint; econometrics.

Introduction

Export competitiveness is influenced by structural, macroeconomic and technological factors. Recent research by Ganai examines these relationships across different geographic and methodological settings, including bilateral India–US trade and manufacturing exports from India and China. [2][5]

Research Profile

The supplied researcher record identifies NMIMS, Navi Mumbai, as the institutional affiliation and Economics, Econometrics and Finance as the subject area. The record lists 12 documents, 47 citations and an h-index of 5, alongside Scopus author identifier 57497343500. These indicators provide bibliometric context but should be interpreted according to database coverage and the period represented. [1]

Research Contributions

The documented studies use contemporary econometric techniques to investigate heterogeneous trade and sustainability relationships. The MMQR study examines product sophistication and export competitiveness across BRICS and selected Asian economies, while the NARDL study investigates asymmetric relationships in India–US trade. Other work considers how human capital relates to ecological footprints in China and India and within India more broadly. [1][2][3][4]
