The Research Unit for Political Economy (R.U.P.E.) is concerned with analysing, at the theoretical and empirical levels, various aspects of the economic life of India and its institutions.

It aims to compile, analyse, and present information and statistics so as to enable people to understand the actual mechanics of their every day economic life. And, in this, it aims to take the assistance and insights of people engaged in every sphere of productive work and society.

The R.U.P.E publishes Aspects of India’s Economy, a journal which aims to explain day-to-day issues of India’s economic life in terms that can easily be understood, and to link them with the nature of the country’s political economy. Aspects has no fixed periodicity, but about three issues appear a year. Subscriptions are thus for a particular number of issues, not months/years.

The R.U.P.E. also publishes the
RUPE BLOG, which is updated more frequently.
