Description
Summary:Sastry's very early pieces of work appeared in Economic Weekly in the form of comments on two interesting topics (1) "Economic Development and Income Distribution" (May 1962), (2) "The Optimum Firm and the Optimum Farm" (November 1962). In the 1970s he worked more on corporate investment behaviour including inventory investment in collaboration with K Krishnamurthy, using the accelerator model and emphasising the role of financial factors (Inventories in Indian Manufacturing (1970), Investment and Financing in the Corporate Sector in India (1975)).
