This paper examines the specialization
and diversity of manufacturing industries within Indian
districts. Prior to India's recent economic growth and
liberalization, specialization levels in 1989 were
substantially higher than similar metrics calculated for the
United States. From 1989 to 2010, average specialization
levels for Indian districts declined to a level that is now
quite comparable to the United States. Diversity levels
similarly increased. Specialization and diversity levels in
India are becoming more persistent with time. Manufacturing
plants display higher productivity in districts that display
both properties. From 1989 to 2010, manufacturing employment
growth was higher in districts that were more specialized at
the start of the period.
