Research Pictures
Welcome! I'm a third year Ph.D student in the department of economics at UC Berkeley. I study econometrics and industrial organization, often applied to the context of developing economies. I use structural econometric modeling to try to understand the behavioral processes at work in detailed data on firms or individuals, in order to try to simulate what those firms or individuals would do if their environments changed in an out-of-sample way. For instance, I am working on modeling the investment, hiring and technology adoption decisions facing Indian manufacturing firms in order to better understand how the aggregate economy would be affected by a sharp improvement in the quality of electricity service.
In 2003-05 I was working under the Chief Economist and Director of Development Policy at the World Bank; 1999-2003 I was an undergraduate in economics and international relations at Stanford.
