My research interest focusses on the contemporary issues in International Trade and Development Economics. My interest on the impact of globalization on developing countries touches on critical issues that many nations are grappling with. My PhD dissertation contributed to the field by examining the complex relationships between trade liberalization, product variety, quality, economic growth. This multifaceted approach, combining both theoretical and empirical analysis, provided valuable insights into the mechanisms through which trade affects economic outcomes.
Post-PhD my research portfolio is comprehensive, covering several crucial aspects of international trade and development economics. Following are the few key areas of my current research:
1. Digitalization, trade and employment
2. Service Trade
3. Gender Aspects of Trade Liberalization, Financial Inclusion and Entrepreneurship
4. Global Value Chains (GVCs)
5. Trade and Environment
6. Regionalism
