I am an applied economist whose research questions
are largely anchored in the literatures on agency theory and new institutional economics. My research is eclectic, cutting
across a number of areas of economics, finance and international business. I started out as a development economist. Since
then, I have worked in a number of other areas. My recent (and current) research have focussed (focuses) on the following: v Ownership,
corporate governance and firm performance v Multinational
enterprises v Banking and credit markets My research is largely empirical in nature, and India is
the context of a significant proportion of this research. It is my native country, large, developing, and one
of the fastest growing in the world. Further, since 1991, it has experienced very significant structural changes and hence it
is a fertile ground for natural experiments encompassing a variety of policy issues that impact behaviour and performance
of economic agents. Finally, it allows me to leverage the knowledge of the country's economy and its financial-corporate
sectors that I had acquired during the three and a half years that I spent there as an economist.
Even though I enjoy
working within an academic environment, I also like working outside the academic environment. I enjoyed my work
at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, a New Delhi based policy think tank, and ICRA Limited, the Indian
associate of Moody's Investors Service. I also enjoy my work with economists at UK's Department of Business Innovation
and Skills. And I must admit that I enjoy my on-the-air conversations with BBC's Bengali service.
