CHAROO ANAND

I'm a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at UC Berkeley. I will be on the job market in Fall 2025 - Spring 2026.

My research is on the effects of transport infrastructure on segregation and development. To estimate these effects, I design causal inference strategies that combine natural experiments with GIS methods. This research is supported by the Berkeley Opportunity Lab. In my work (and sometimes outside of work), I use R and its suite of spatial data packages.

I have 5 years of experience teaching economics, quantitative methods, history and public policy to students from diverse backgrounds. In 2024-2025, I served as Co-President of Economists for Equity at Berkeley, a graduate student organization dedicated to supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds through mentorship, research grants, and community-building events.         

Before starting my PhD, I received a BSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from the LSE and worked at the Centre for Economic Performance.
