Hello I am Labanya and welcome to my website! Currently my work lies broadly at the intersection of political economy, energy, environment and development economics. My research interests can be broadly categorized into following categories
Corruption in energy markets
Electricity markets (especially causes and impact of blackouts)
Solar rooftop markets
Cost benefit analysis of solar rooftop adoption
Health impacts of air pollution from fossil fuel generation in developing countries
I am also an avid lover of psychology and love reading about impact of mindset, addictive behaviors on educational and labor market outcomes.
I earned my Ph.D. from Middle Tennessee State University.
I have taught at Kennesaw State University from 2021-2023 and currently I am working as a Visiting Assistant Professor of economics at Agnes Scott College.
I am a curious person and I love reading and appreciate good sense of humor.
