Policy Writing

I write policy pieces that translate academic research into applied insights for policymakers, practitioners, and the public. These articles draw on my work on firm behaviour, misallocation, infrastructure constraints, and adaptation under large shocks, and are intended as research-based policy translation rather than standalone commentary.

My writing has appeared in VoxDev, the World Bank, IGC, IDEAS Policy Blogs, and leading international newspapers.

Firms & Misallocation

Learning and Coordination after Large Shocks

Energy, State Capacity and Misallocation

Public Goods and Crisis Response

I also wrote data-driven and comparative policy pieces on public-good adoption, behavioural responses, and coordination under crisis conditions in South Asia.
