Shekhar Tomar

I am an Assistant Professor in the Economics and Public Policy Area at the Indian School of Business. I study how firms adjust their supply chains and labor in response to disruptions and major policy changes, using granular micro-data.

Before joining ISB, I served as a Research Economist at the Reserve Bank of India between 2017-2019, after completing my Ph.D. at the Toulouse School of Economics. I host Arth Niti, a podcast where I discuss policy issues with other researchers. Additionally, I lead the Housing Price Index project that tracks the housing prices and quantity sales in India. I am also affiliated as an Invited Researcher with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).
