Abstract

Jitendra kumar sinha

This study aims to measure the influence of investment in key sectors, namely Agriculture & Allied, Industry, and Services, on Bihar's economic growth. To achieve this, we employ the decomposition methodology introduced by Jalava and Pohjola (2002) by formulating a set of structural relationships and establishing interconnections between the growth of these sectors and the role of investment. Firstly, we examine the stationarity of the variables in these structural relationships using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test. Next, we estimate the structural relations through Ordinary Least Square (OLS) analysis to investigate the specific contribution of investment in the Agriculture & Allied sector to the overall economic growth rate. Finally, we explore alternate simulation scenarios that support the promotion of public sector investment in the Agriculture & Allied sector. Through this comprehensive analysis, we aim to provide valuable insights into the importance of investing in this sector for Bihar's sustainable economic development.
