Dr Raghav Malhotra

I am a microeconomist who tries to understand the empirical consequences of economic models and theory. I also have working interests in labor and public economics. In the main body of my work, I try to understand how economic fundamentals can be recovered from observable data and then used to make counterfactual claims about welfare measurements. My work in public finance introduces a new fiscal instrument that governments can use for redistribution and then tries to understand when using it is optimal. In my work in labor economics, I study large economies where individuals make human capital decisions. In this part of my research, I try to understand how aggregate variables changing over time affect and distort human capital choices made by individuals.
