Hi! I am Dyah Pritadrajati (I go by Prita, pronounced Pree-tah), a PhD candidate in Economics at the Arndt–Corden Department of Economics, Australian National University. I am an applied microeconomist working in labour and family economics, with a focus on gender, education, and social policy.

I was a Fox International Fellow at Yale University (2024–25) and a Pacific Trade and Development (PAFTAD) Fellow. My research has been published in Labour Economics, Journal of Development Studies, and Economic Analysis and Policy.

I previously completed an MPhil in Economics at the University of Cambridge and an MSc in Economics for Development at the University of Oxford, and received my undergraduate degree in Economics from Universitas Gadjah Mada (Indonesia). 

I am on the job market in the 2025–26 cycle (CV). 

My Job Market Paper examines how mothers’ labour supply and household behaviour adjust when childcare relief is partial. A short overview of the paper was featured on the World Bank’s Development Impact blog.
