I am an applied economist with interests in issues of global development with a focus on evidence-based policy research. My current research interests are on financial inclusion, skills training, infrastructure, and education. I have several ongoing field experiments (RCTs) in South Asia and the West Africa. Completed projects are available as working papers and articles in international peer-reviewed journals including the Journal of Development Economics, American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, World Bank Economic Review, World Development and Journal of Development Studies, to name a few. I was awarded the Albert Berry Prize at the Canadian Economic Association (CEA) Conference for the best Paper in Development Economics in 2016. I recently published an edited book titled "Seasonality and Micro-credit" from Springer.
