Nikhil (Nick) Shankar

Welcome to my website! I am a PhD student in the Department of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. I am also in UC Berkeley's Designated Emphasis in Political Economy. My interests are in development economics and political economy.

Prior to starting my PhD, I was a pre-doctoral research fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. I graduated from Stanford University with a B.A. in Economics and a minor in Math.
