I am Amit Khandelwal (Amit K. Khandelwal), the Dong-Soo Hahn Professor of Global Affairs and Economics at Yale University. My appointment is in the Economics Department and the Jackson School of Global Affairs.
My research examines the link between international trade and economic development, with a focus on firms. I study tariffs and trade wars, the distribution of gains from trade, and how access to international markets affects developing countries. I also use satellite imagery to measure economic activity.
I hold affiliations at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), Bureau for Research and Economic Analysis of Development (BREAD), and International Growth Centre (IGC).
