Welcome
to my website. My areas of interest are development economics, public
economics, and the economics of organizations, but they spill over to several
other areas of applied theory, applied micro, and public policy. I also write
extensively on issues relating to the Indian economy. I have been at the Department
of Economics of the London School of Economics for more than two decades.
Earlier I was in the faculty of the Department of Economics at the University
of Chicago after completing my PhD from Harvard University. I am an elected
Fellow of the Econometric Society, an elected Fellow of the British Academy,
a Fellow of the International Economic Association, and Research Fellow at
research networks such as CEPR, BREAD, IFS, CAGE, the India Policy Forum, and
a founder member of ThReD, a research network of
theoretical research in development economics. I am an editor of Economica,
having served in the past as editors of the Review of Economic Studies and
the Journal of Development Economics. In addition to my academic work,
I write regularly on economic, political, cultural, and policy issues for a
broader audience in various newspapers, magazines, and blogs in both English
and my native language, Bengali. Below you will find a link to my brief bio,
CV, research publications, working papers, slides from recent talks, and all
my non-academic writings. |
