The Green Revolution and Rural Indebtedness in India

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the Vancouver School of Economics University of British Columbia. I am an applied microeconomist with primary research interests in Development and Economic History, and secondary fields in Health, Political Economy, and Behavioral Economics. My research examines the long-term effects of historical episodes on economic and social outcomes in developing countries. In my job market paper, I explore the potential causes of the rising disease burden in India, with a particular emphasis on the role of the Green Revolution and its broader health implications. I am on the 2024/2025 Economics Job Market.
