Priyodorshi Banerjee Joins AED Economics

Priyodorshi Banerjee joined the Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics on Oct. 1, 2001, as assistant professor after completing his Ph.D. in Economics at Boston University.

Professor Banerjee's primary focus will be on the economics of financial markets in the presence of deregulation and competition. Specifically, he will examine how changing financial landscapes and industry structures will affect market outcomes such as products, innovations, prices, etc. An important application will be the analysis of policy options for the optimal functioning of micro and small firm credit markets, in the developing world as well as in advanced economies.

He will also study how regulatory and technological changes may affect different kinds of primary financial markets (credit markets, bond markets, markets for underwritten paper, etc.) and their interactions to derive welfare implications for financial as well as non-financial firms.
