I am an applied microeconomist with skills in designing and running experiments, and analyzing laboratory or field data with appropriate econometric techniques. My research broadly follows two pathways. In the first pathway, I pursue behavioral and experimental research to understand social preference, and conflict behavior. The second pathway relates to Industrial Economics and Competition Policy in which I investigate topics in anti-trust and consumer policies.
