Nirvana Mitra
Welcome to my website!
I am a Research Director (the equivalent of an Assistant Professor or an Economist at the Federal Reserve System) at CAFRAL (Reserve Bank of India)
My primary research interests are macroeconomics focusing on sovereign debt and defaults, and consumer finance. My other work involves empirical research related to misallocation and productivity.
I am on the 2024-25 job market and will be available for interviews.
