Pallavi Prabhakar

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Economics at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE). I completed my PhD in Economics at FAIR, Norwegian School of Economics (NHH). 

I am currently affiliated with the LRF Center for Economics of Breastfeeding, Department of Economics, University of Zurich and the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD), Dhaka.

I study how economic frictions at the government and household levels shape the effectiveness of public programmes, with a particular interest in understanding how policies can be designed and implemented more effectively.

Previously, I worked with BRAC in Uganda and Oxford Policy Management in India. I hold a Masters from the London School of Economics and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Delhi.
