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. CV
