Hi, I'm Yajna (pronunciation below)!
Junior Professor Chair in Economics at Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE)
I'm also affiliated with the Copenhagen Business School. I completed my PhD in Economics from Paris School of Economics (PSE) in Nov 2021.
My research interests are in Applied Labor, Inequality, and Migration. I am particularly interested in migrants' integration policies (e.g. citizenship, forced assimilation) and racial inequality.
I am also a committee member of the EEA Minorities in Economics (MinE). Feel free to reach out to me if you have any comments or suggestions for initiatives.
