Research

My research interest primarily focuses on Globalisation, Foreign Direct Investment and manufacturing. My research works analyse the impact of globalization on technology, exports and labour market. Though my primary research involves exploration of issues in manufacturing industries, I also have research interest in issues of development in the context of emerging market economies. I am currently working on technology spillovers and export orientation of developing economies including India.
