Pratistha Adhikari

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the John E. Walker Department of Economics at Clemson University.  

My research interests are in labor economics, development economics, and public economics. I am particularly interested in gender, intra-household allocation, and the role of institutions and public policies in shaping women’s economic development. 

I am currently on the 2025–2026 job market and am especially interested in academic positions.

You can read my Job Market Paper, "The Impact of Inheritance Rights on Women's Education in India," here.
