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

The main chapter of 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.

I’m currently based in New York City and looking for opportunities in private and non-profit quantitative research. I can be reached at mrinchatterjee [dot] mc [at] gmail [dot] com.
