Biography

My research is focused on a number of major themes in the areas of Macroeconomics, Finance and Complex Systems, and Political Economy. The broad theme that underpins various strands of his research is the issue of the dynamic interrelation between economic growth and distribution of income, and my current work focuses on this question in the context of financialization. My research draws inspiration from the intellectual traditions of Michal Kalecki and John Maynard Keynes on the substantive front, and uses the methods and tools of Complex systems, to study the dynamics of growth and income distribution in the modern financial economies. My research is interdisciplinary and is underpinned by the principle that economic systems cannot be viewed independently of the wider socio-political context. My research is published in international peer-reviewed journals including Review of Keynesian Economics (ROKE), Metroeconomica, Journal of Economics, Panoeconomicus, International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, Feminist Economics, Economic and Political Weekly, Review of Development and Change, PLOS ONE, European Physical Journal B and the International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos.

I served as the Associate Director for Multidisciplinary Research in the Whitaker Institute at NUI Galway where my role was to create the capacity for multidisciplinary research using novel research methodologies for addressing global and regional public policy issues. The Social Sciences Computing Hub, the project which I led and successfully established, is one such project for multidisciplinary research in NUI Galway.

My research has been published, acknowledged and reviewed in national and international media, including:

Invited to speak at the prestigious International Economic Forum of the Americas (IEFA) in Montreal in June 2017

Invited to speak at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) conference on "Gender and Macroeconomics" in March 2017 in Washington D.C

Nature-India, Nature Publishing Group, published a review of the PLOS ONE paper (link to the review).

The President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins cited and quoted my work in his recently published book (“When Ideas Matter”, Michael D. Higgins (2016)) and acknowledged his research in the inaugural lecture of the Annual Distinguished Lecture series of the Institute of Life Course in NUI Galway.

RTE Brainstorm published my article on why economics lost its ability to related to the real work

The Wire.in in India published my article on the issue of violence against women and economic policy

Irish Times published my comment on the famous “spread-sheet error” issue.

Irish Times article on my research on the Virtual Stock Market Experiments.

The summary of the deliberation of the workshop titled “Finance, Sovereign debt and the Eurozone crisis” was published as an open letter, “Alternative Vision for the Eurozone Crisis”, in various blogs, like Heterodox, Naked Keynesianism, Triple Crisis etc., and also in news papers in Italy (Il Mainfest), Spain (Publico), India (EPW) and Argentina (Pagina 2).

Media coverage in India on the “Modern Finance and Macroeconomics” winter school that I organised with my research collaborators, Prof. Vishwesha Guttal and Prof. Srikanth Iyer in the India Institute of Science (IISc).

Research Interests

Research focus and interest

My current research explores the implications of the modern financial sector for macroeconomic stability, particularly from the point of view of the interrelation between income distribution and economic growth. Some of my recent papers in Metroeconomica (2015), Review of Keynesian Economics (2017), Panoeconomicus (2018) propose a way to incorporate the modern financial sector in macroeconomic analysis and explore the pathways through which modern finance may lead to fragility in the real economy, by not only causing abrupt crashes but also makes the recovery weaker. My work also examines the institutional conditions that renders modern financial systems fragile and unstable. Continuing in this broad theme, I am working on various issues relating to intra- and inter- income distribution disparity, conflict between shareholders, managers and workers and on the long run relationship between growth and distribution under financialisation.

Arising from my work in Macroeconomics, and drawing from the wider framework of political economy, connections to a range of wider social issues have opened up informing a parallel area of research that I actively explore. In particular, I continue to work on the political economy of Macroeconomic policy making in the context of the 2008 crisis (Economic and Political Weekly (2013)) and on integrating Gender in Macroeconomics, with a particular emphasis on integrating unpaid care in Macroeconomics (see RTE Brainstorm), on the issue of Microfinance as a developmental strategy and on the issue of violence against women (Feminist Economics, 2017, TheWire).

These works are a reflection of the wider, integrated, view that informs my research agenda, which can be grouped under the following broad interrelated themes:

I. Financialization and Macroeconomic stability
II. Empirical characterization of economic complexity
III. Economic growth and Socio-economic inequality under financialization

Teaching Interests

A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to hum its own flame - Rabindranath Tagore

My philosophy and practice of teaching draw from the wisdom and inspiration of Rabindranath Tagore’s magical words. I consider knowledge as the light that burns the darkness in the human mind and the duty of the teacher is to ensure that the light burns eternally. Thus, by continuing to hum his/her own flame, the teacher has to perform the critical role of reinvigorating the light of knowledge.

My teachers instilled in me the ability to hum, the burning desire for knowledge, which I consider as fundamental to teaching and as a teacher I endeavor to pass on to my students this passionate engagement. I was blessed with great teachers, who taught me not just the subject of study, but also, more importantly, the method of learning itself. In other words, they taught me how to learn.

The approach to learning for me is being both analytical and critical. I believe that these two aspects of learning cannot be achieved without a systematic enquiry to understand the nature, the philosophy, and the methodology of the subject of study. It is this method of enquiry-based learning that underpins my philosophy and practice of teaching, and is what continues to hum the flame in me.

My teaching portfolio is composed of a wide variety of courses within the ambit of my research expertise. I have designed and delivered novel interdisciplinary modules in economics arising from my research collaborations with colleagues in other disciplines such as Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, and Psychology. My teaching spans various levels that include undergraduate, advanced under graduate, evening BA/B.Sc./ Higher Diploma students (professionals and executives), post-graduate students and Ph.D. students.
