Hi! 

I am Manisha, a Ph.D. Fellow in Development Economics at Maastricht University and United Nations University - Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT) since 2020.  

My research focuses on various development issues, with primary interests revolving around rural-urban migration, labor markets, and economic inequalities. Lately, I've delved into the examining the intersection of climate change adaptation and gender inequality, with a particular emphasis on India, a subject that forms the basis of one of my job market papers. Furthermore, I'm also keenly interested in conducting impact evaluations of large-scale infrastructure programs and reviewing their effects on economic disparities within and between different socioeconomic groups.
