Hi, I'm Yajna (pronunciation below)!
I am an Assistant Prof (tenure-track) in Economics at the Copenhagen Business School (CBS)
I pursued a PhD in Economics at Paris School of Economics (PSE) & INED under the supervision of Thomas Piketty & co-supervised by Marion Leturcq. During my PhD, I was a visiting scholar at the Economics Department of Harvard University (Spring 2019/20).
My research interests are in Applied Labor, Inequality, and Migration. Recently, I have been particularly interested in migrants' integration policies such as citizenship acquisition among others.
