Profile

Samarth Gupta obtained his PhD in Economics from Boston University in 2018. Prior to joining Ahmedabad University, Samarth was an Associate Fellow at the National Council of Applied Economic Research where he was conducted research in several areas of Public Policy such as alcohol taxation and pricing strategy, Direct Benefit Transfers, and an analysis of gig workers in the Platform economy. 

Research

Samarth’s current research interest lie primarily in the field of Development Economics, and particularly in the subject of financial inclusion.
