Abstract: Our paper uses the ME (Maximum Entropy) bootstrap method to overcome the econometric constraints of using a short time series after the publication of a new macroeconomic series in India. We use a short time series (quarterly data) of stationary and nonstationary variables between 2011-2016 to confirm the positive role of public infrastructure investment. The significant result has policy implications in terms of the current debate, whether public investment `crowds-in' rather than `crowds-out' private corporate investment in India.
