I am graduating from the Chair of Development Economics, Heidelberg University, Germany, in summer 2020. My research interests are in the domains of applied microeconomics and development economics. My doctoral thesis covers the three major issues of development economics. First, I analyze the poverty convergence at the subnational level of India and Pakistan. I find the presence of poverty convergence clubs in India. In the second paper, I analyze the inequality convergence at the subnational level. In the last paper, I examine how decentralized school funding helps to improve school achievements.
