Mitali Roy Mathur
Economics Ph.D. Candidate at UC Davis
I am an applied micro-economist whose interests lie at the intersection of development, migration, and labor. My research investigates how policy design shapes whether marginalized groups access the programs, legal rights, and jobs they are eligible for.
Background: Prior to beginning my Ph.D. in economics, I worked in the development sector at IDinsight on research projects related to data quality, gender and behavioral nudges. I received my B.S. in International Economics from Georgetown University. Hoya Saxa!
Resources: I love to document my experiences! I’ve written about each year of my Ph.D. and linked different resources to my blog: (First Year, Second Year, Third Year, Fourth Year). I hope this can serve as a practical example of what to expect during an economics Ph.D. This is of course, just my personal experience…
About Me: I enjoy traveling, hiking, playing ultimate frisbee, scuba diving, Odissi dancing, and grilling. You can read more about my background and hobbies on my personal page!
