Bibek Debroy has written part one, two, three, and four of a five-part series on legal reform in India, in The Financial Express,. The final, fifth, part appeared today. Bibek is one of India’s most eminent economists (full disclosure: he’s also contributing editor on The Indian Express editorial board) , and has written extensively on the idiosyncrasies of various Indian laws. His emphasis on outcomes and his use of quantitative measures make his analysis of the Indian legal system quite radical.
