An oft-repeated refrain in the development literature has been the 'neglect' of the agricultural sector visa -vis the industrial sector in the development process of the less developed economies. Since infrastructure, is crucially linked to both agricultural and industrial development, poor instructure development may make it appear as if slow agricultural growth has caused slow industrial growth. Further, in estimating the relation between agriculture and industry, the former should not be assumed to be exogenous; rather, this should first be established. Moreover, given that most time series are trended, conventional regression techniques may yield spurious regressions and significance tests. To circumvent these various problems, we study the cointegration of the different sectors of the Indian economy in a multivariate vector autoregression framework. '94) ndom 29
