Mrinmoyee Chatterjee

I’m currently working as a Senior Research & Data Analyst for the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR) in Washington, D.C.

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Maryland in 2023, where I studied labor and development economics. My research examines women's employment and fertility decisions in various contexts, or the value of non-traditional inputs on educational outcomes.

My dissertation explored how the war production effort during World War II drastically increased the demand for women in previously male-dominated occupations in manufacturing.

In my other work, I have analyzed the effect of state-wide bank deregulation on fertility rates, and the academic value of air-conditioning in Chicago public schools. I am interested in empirical questions in labor, development and public economics. For more information, please see the Research section of my website.
