About me
I am an economist in the Department of Macroeconomics at the Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) , where I am pursuing my PhD. My research spans macroeconomics, environmental economics and labour economics, both within these fields and at their intersections. My work has appeared in reputed peer-reviewed journals including Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Journal of Environmental Management, Renewable Energy, Sustainable Development, Economics of Governance and International Review of Applied Economics. I have been trained in economics across the Indian, British and German academic systems, which has given me a fairly mixed view of how the subject is taught, researched and applied. Before joining IWH , I held research positions at Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE , the Chair in Monetary and Fiscal Policy at Goethe University Frankfurt , the National Growth & Macroeconomic Centre at NCAER , the Research Centre of the Deutsche Bundesbank , and the ifo Center for International Economics . Outside research, I am usually somewhere between a book, a sketchbook, a half-written screenplay, a theatre seat or a table-tennis table and, whenever I get the chance, underwater.
