Abhijeet Singh

I'm an applied microeconomist at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) and study topics relating to the economics of education, child development and public service delivery in low- and middle-income countries.

I serve on the Board of MIT's Jameel Poverty Action Lab (JPAL) as co-Chair of the Education Sector,  on the Academic Leadership Team of the What Works Hub for Global Education at the University of Oxford, and as an Associate Editor at The Economic Journal. 

I am a Research Fellow at the Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and RFBerlin, a Non Resident Research Fellow at the Center for Global Development, and a Research Affiliate at CESifo and the Bureau for Research and Economic Analysis in Development (BREAD). At SSE, I am affiliated to the Mistra Centre for Sustainable Markets (MISUM) and the House of Governance and Public Policy. 

I received my doctorate in Economics from the University of Oxford and a BA (Hons.) in Economics from  the University of Delhi. Before moving to SSE, I was based at the Department of Economics at UCL. 

My research has been funded by the UK's FCDO, the Gates Foundation, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC UK), the Asian Development Bank Institute and the Handelsbanken foundations.  I hold an ERC Starting Grant (2023-2028) for the project EDINCLUSION which is   focused on  private schooling in India.
