She was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Pardee Center from 2011 through August 2013 after receiving her Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Utah. In September 2013, she joined the faculty at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keene.edu\">Keene State College<\/a> as a Lecturer in Economics.<\/p>\n<p>Her specialization is in the areas of economic growth, development and international economics. Her dissertation titled <em>A Structuralist Approach to Analyzing India\u2019s Productivity, Employment and Export Performance, <\/em>emphasizes the need to account for sectoral-level dynamics when evaluating the efficacy of structural policy shifts in a developing country. By focusing on the Indian experience in the pre-liberalization and post-liberalization periods, her dissertation shows that following liberalization, a developing economy may continue to experience problems of persistent trade balance deficits, concentrated productivity improvements and concentrated employment growth despite positive trends in aggregate productivity, and a reduced balance of payments constraint. Achieving a sustainable and inclusive path of growth in a developing country therefore requires that policies of liberalization be complemented by active policies to generate quality employment on a large scale; improve the technological efficiency, growth and expansion of industry; and raise productivity in the agricultural sector. Her dissertation also argues that India\u2019s current services-led growth path is fragile and has a limited ability to generate an inclusive development path as it is heavily dependent on external markets, and has been driven by services intensive in skilled labor, while a major part of the Indian labor force remains rural and unskilled.<\/p>\n<p>Nabar-Bhaduri&#8217;s current research interests include the development of policies conducive to sustainable and inclusive development; the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic development; the development of alternative measures of economic growth and development; factors driving the reduction of the balance of payments constraint in\u00a0developing countries; human rights in developing countries; gender and environmental aspects of development; and the political economy of international relations.<\/p>\n<p>She taught at the University of Utah, and is a member of the Eastern Economics Association (EEA). She has presented her work at conferences including the EEA and the Association for Institutional Thought (AFIT).<\/p>\n<h3>Publications and Papers<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cThe Science of Growth and the Growth of Science.\u201d With Dr. Sumit Bhaduri. <em>Current Science<\/em>, 89 (7), 10 October 2005.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cWhat Lies Beneath: A Case for Disaggregated Analysis in Evaluating Structural Policy Shifts.\u201d <em>International Journal of Political Economy, <\/em>40 (1) (Spring 2011).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cInflation.\u201d [book chapter, forthcoming with Dr. Mati\bas Vernengo<em> <\/em>in Malcolm Sawyer\u2019s Elgar Companion to Radical Political Economics]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cNo Easy Balancing Act: Reducing the Balance of Payments Constraint; Improving Export Competitiveness and Productivity; and Absorbing Surplus Labor &#8211; the Indian Experience.\u201d University of Utah Department of Economics Working Paper Series (2011\/12).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cPioneers of Development and the Enigma of India\u2019s Structural Dynamics.\u201d \u00a0[Paper from dissertation, presented at \u00a0the Eastern Economic Association (EEA) conference in Boston, March 2012].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Presentations<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Eastern Economic Association (EEA) Conference, February 2010, Philadelphia. <em>What Lies Beneath: A Case For Disaggregated Analysis in Evaluating Structural Policy Shifts<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Eastern Economic Association (EEA) Conference, February 2011, New York City. <em>The Sustainability of India\u2019s Services-Led Growth<\/em> with Dr. Matias Vernengo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Western Social Sciences Association- Association for Institutional Thought (WSSA-AFIT) Conference, April 2011, Salt Lake City. <em>No Easy Balancing Act: Reducing the Balance of Payments Constraint; Improving Export Competitiveness and Productivity; and Absorbing Surplus Labor- the Indian Experience<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lecturer, Keene State College (Keene, New Hampshire) Former Pardee Center Post-Doctoral Fellow (2011-2013) Education Ph.D (Economics) University of Utah. \u00a0M.A. (Economics) and B.A. (Economics and Statistics) University of Mumbai, India.
