About Me: I did my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Houston and Postdoctoral research at Aix-Marseille School of Economics. Here is the link to my CV and Google Scholar . My interests span international, spatial, and public economics. In my research, I study spatial outcomes and optimal regional policies through the lens of quantitative trade models. I focus on highlighting synergies between investments and trade policies to optimize regional gains from trade. I can be reached at priyam.verma@ashoka.edu.in
