Abhiroop Mukhopadhyay

My primary specialization is in econometric methods applied to topics in the field of education in developing countries (in particular, India). Recent topics of research include the impact of better school infrastructure on rural schooling attendance, how to design teacher transfer programs and the impact of the distribution of human capital on growth and development. Some of my research focuses on issues related to public policy: in particular, the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS)- a big public workfare program in India; the political economy of it's implementation and the effects of NREGS on education and borrowing. I have also worked on issues related to health: the economic effects of HIV-AIDS and Cancer.
