Dhiroj Koirala

I am an applied microeconomist and a PhD candidate in Resource Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I specialize in energy, environment, and development economics. My research examines how energy access, supply reliability, and policies influence household outcomes and environmental sustainability. 

I am currently on the job market. My job market paper evaluates the effectiveness of Bhutan’s Rural Electricity Subsidy Program in achieving its development objectives. Click to download the latest version of my Job Market Paper.
