About
Meet is a PhD Economics candidate in the Department of Economics. His research interests span two main areas: econometrics and machine learning, and macroeconomic development and growth.
His current projects include showing that estimator choice is implicitly normative, and providing a novel debiased machine learning estimator which makes this choice explicit. He also uses two natural experiments in India to show that in the presence of market frictions, a policy intended to reduce misallocation can increase it along another dimension by letting liquid firms expand instead of productive ones.
Meet holds an MSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from the LSE, and a BSc in Econometrics and Operations Research from Maastricht University.
