At USC, I serve on several PHD thesis committees for students at USC Price School . Arnab is a great guy who has already written several very interesting urban economics papers. sites.google.com/view/arnabdutt…

My co-author Arnab Dutta is on the job market this year. If you are looking for an urban and real estate economist then do consider him.

Something that I’ve always taken inspiration from Arnab Dutta since we were classmates during our Masters in India, is his attitude to immerse into the depths of questions and persist till he understands it fully. He will be an excellent colleague to have! #EconTwitter

Very excited to present my paper today at #UEA2024 in the land use regulations session.
