Annual Survey of Industries -- Data Setup Files

This page provides some files that help with reading-in and cleaning up the raw data from ASI plant-level data.  Note that usual "caveat emptor" about errors apply -- do check and revise files/codes as required for your projects. (E.g. check if the issue with the multipliers I found for 1987-88 and 1988-89 still hold -- it is possible that the CSO may fix this issue in the future.) 

I request those using these files to please cite my paper:
Sivadasan, Jagadeesh, Barriers to Competition and Productivity: Evidence from India The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy: Vol. 9 : Iss. 1 (Advances), Article 42 (2009).
