India’s service trade and asymmetry in j-curve: The evidence from linear and nonlinear models - South Asia Economic Journal - 26(1), Mar, 2025: p.32-53

Studies about the J-curve have primarily focused on the trade in goods, and the application of the concept in the trade in services is a relatively new area of research. This study attempts to contribute to the literature on the J-curve by testing for the presence of symmetric and asymmetric J-curves in India’s services trade with the world in six sectors: Commercial Services, Insurance, Goods-related Services, Charges for the Use of Intellectual Property, Travel and Other Business Services. The study finds evidence for a J-curve in all six sectors, with some supporting a symmetric J-curve and others supporting an asymmetric J-curve.- Reproduced
