Akash Uppal

I am a pre-doctoral fellow at Yale University, working with Professor Rohini Pande at the Economic Growth Center.

In May 2023, I graduated from Yale with a Masters in International and Development Economics. Previously, I worked at the Bank of Canada, Analysis Group, and Pipella Law. In May 2021, I graduated from UBC's Bachelor of International Economics program.

I have cultivated a passion for understanding power relations, through the lens of development, behavioral, and experimental economics. Throughout my career, I strive to produce novel, rigorous, and policy-relevant research to advance social equity.

Outside of work, I play in an inter-departmental soccer league, travel frequently, and host a podcast.
