Welcome to my website!

I am Malabi Dass, a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at St Olaf College. I completed my PhD in Economics from Oklahoma State University in 2023.

My research focuses on the impact of international trade  on child health in Indonesia. Specifically, I examine how trade liberalization affects women's labor market outcomes which in turn affects child health. Other than developmental issues, my work incorporates Labor, Health and International (trade) economics. Additionally, some of my research overlaps with Urban Development and Planning.

Currently, I am teaching Principles of Economics, Urban Economics and an unique course on Trade, Development and Gender. I am also collaborating with undergraduate students on various research related activities.
