Bio
Deepti Goel is an applied microeconomist and teaches at Pitzer College in California. Before joining Pitzer, she was teaching in India for about fifteen years. She is also a research fellow at the IZA-Institute of Labor Economics, and at the Global Labor Organization, GLO. Her fields of interest are causal inference, labor economics, and development economics. One strand of her research explores how social identities, such as gender, caste, and immigrant status, influence economic and non-economic outcomes. The other seeks to understand the impacts of government policies and interventions, and the mechanisms through which they bring about change.
