Aman Desai

I am a Ph.D. candidate in economics at the CUNY Graduate Center and a junior scholar at the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality. My primary research fields are labor economics and applied microeconometrics. In my job market paper, I incorporate dynamic complementarity into the measurement of income inequality of opportunity using supervised machine learning. Additionally, I employ causal inference and machine learning techniques to examine inequality in educational and health opportunities, focusing on the roles of families, markets, and government.
