Personal profile
Research interests
I use microeconometric and psychometric tools to understand issues pertaining to education, labour and development. My interests extend broadly in the domains of epistemology, quantitative methods and social policy. I am always on the lookout for interesting data-driven stories, in the context of social policy, which have sufficient scope for drama.
