My colleague @kamini_gupta_ who is also co-investigator on our project @UKINDTradeTalk gave a great talk last week at @ChathamHouse alongside the Indian High Commissioner @VDoraiswami on India's economy, its enduring challenges, and prospects

[Kamini Gupta @kamini_gupta_]

Was great to speak alongside the High Commissioner @VDoraiswami @ChathamHouse on the Indian economy yesterday. I spoke about how making our workforce more inclusive, such as in the case of women, can unlock the value of our size and support our economic ambitions.

Very happy to be International Economic Association's @IEA_economics featured economist for the month October 2023.

In this profile, I reflect on why I do economics, relevance of my work, and how to think about the issue of diversity in the discipline.

Brilliant graph in this week’s Economist. How countries that shun Russian oil in fact purchase it through those that do not.
