UCSDEcon welcomes our entering cohort of graduate students. We may not have a building but we still have the people - Welcome new students to our UCSD Econ community!

UCSDEcon proud to announce our 2023-24 Job Market Candidates. Learn more about each candidate at go.ucsd.edu/3nCMYcw.

Seeing polished seminar papers can be intimidating to grad students starting research; so UCSD Development Economics piloted a "backstory" podcast where grad students interview seminar speakers to learn about the process of moving from idea to paper; this is now publicly available for all!

UCSDEcon's Paul Niehaus making waves bringing research to problems solved. See the article in Vox, available at vox.com/23882821/paul-….

Just a reminder of UCSDEcon's excellent group of students on the job market this year. Descriptions and links to the work of each candidate at go.ucsd.edu/3nCMYcw.

UCSDEcon's new building on its way! The building will be directly in the foreground of this photo, foundations appear to be in. Work is progressing.

There is now a live feed showing progress of the new building (it is part of a complex of buildings). See it here - gilmanconstructionmedia.com/ucsdrwnlln/ We will be at the northern end next to the social sciences building, on ridgewalk.

Delighted to share that my book: "Accelerating India's Development" will release on 28 March 2024. Pre-order at: amazon.in/dp/067009594X It has been a labour of love over nearly 5 years, and synthesizes over 20 years of work. I hope you enjoy it!
