Research interests
My reserach interests focus on applied microeconomics—particularly economics of health. My past reserach publication(s) explores factors affecting demand for health and that of heath serives in context of developing countries. I have also explored the avenues of health financing in India and challenges faced by the marginalised ethnic communities in accessing and financing health services. At present, I am also engaged with pedagogy oriented research and investigating the significance of low cost information based nudges to improve student motivation.
