Abhijit Tagade
I am an Economics PhD student at the London School of Economics, where I study macroeconomic questions related to innovation using microeconomic theory and data. My fields are macroeconomics, labor economics and organizations. I am also an Associate at Opportunity Insights, a Fellow at the Harvard Economics department.
At LSE, I co-lead the Economics PhD Applicant Mentoring Program (AMP), which supports students and RAs from underprivileged and underrepresented backgrounds in pursuing economics PhDs through 1-1 mentorship. Find more on my AMP page, AMP website, and LSE website.
