      abstract = {Trade statistics reported through the official sources may  not provide the right information because a regulated  system does not induce truthful revelation. Hence, policy  prescriptions or evaluations based on official statistics  can be misleading. We adopt the well-known methodology of  utilising partner country statistics to reflect on the  consequences of devaluations of Indian rupee in 1960s and  1990s on exports, imports and Balance of Trade. First  tractable analytical results are developed and then  attempts are made to match them with the empirical  evidence.},
