Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) of Economics at the Adam Smith Business School at the University of Glasgow. I am a development economist studying topics in the economics of education. Much of my work draws on ideas from psychology and behavioral economics. My research agenda is centered around understanding how informational and behavioral barriers affect human capital investments, and how psychosocial tools can be leveraged to overcome adversity in low-income contexts.
I received my PhD in Economics and Education from Columbia University in 2024, MPhil in Economics from the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar in 2015, and BA (Hons) in Economics from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi in 2013.
Here is my CV. You can email me at jalnidh.kaur@glasgow.ac.uk
