Komal Sahai

Hi! Welcome to my webpage. I am an Assistant Professor at the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy, Sonipat. I did my masters in Economics from the Delhi School of Economics, and received my Ph.D in Economics from the Indian Statistical Institute, New Delhi. 

My research areas include Economics of Education, Identity Economics, Development Economics. My recent paper conducts an in-depth study on the  gendered pattern of stream choices of students in India. Using data on multiple cohorts of students under the largest national education board of the country, the Central Board of Secondary Education, we establish and subsequently decompose the gender gap in the take-up of various subjects in Indian schools. I use the same dataset to study caste peer effects in the third chapter of my thesis.
