What I'm looking for

I’m interested in doctoral research on economic incentives, firm behaviour, market structures, and environmental outcomes.

At Aligarh Muslim University, I completed a Master’s in Economics and researched the determinants of carbon emissions in India from 1990 to 2020.

For my project, “Understanding India’s Carbon Emissions – An ARDL Investigation,” I used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag approach to examine long-run and short-run relationships among economic growth, energy consumption, trade openness, foreign direct investment, and carbon emissions. I used EViews for econometric diagnostic and specification tests and presented the research at Aligarh Muslim University.

My research experience also includes reviewing literature, developing research questions, and working with secondary economic data. In a term paper on Debt Sustainability in India, I examined public debt and its implications for macroeconomic stability.

I’m interested in doctoral research on economic incentives, firm behaviour, market structures, and environmental outcomes. I’m currently strengthening my quantitative skills through Stata and Python training, building on experience with EViews, Excel, and LaTeX.
