Biography
Vidhya is an applied microeconomist whose work primarily examines the impact of labour market institutions and regulations on employment, wages, and productivity in low-wage labour markets. Improving overall employment levels and worker welfare, and understanding and alleviating impediments to workplace productivity growth are running threads in her research. Another strand of Vidhya's work examines the political economy of institutions and program implementation in developing countries. Her work employs both reduced-form and semi-structural econometric approaches focussing on causal estimations, and uses observational data at the firm or household level. Prior to her PhD, Vidhya worked at various policy organizations such as the World Bank, the International Food Policy Research Institute, and the Planning Commission of India, where her work centered on understanding agricultural value chains and evaluating rural development programs in India.
