Aparna Howlader

I am an applied economist with research interests at the intersection of economic history, environmental and resource economics, and development economics. My work primarily focuses on examining the relationship between land policies and economic inequality. 

I received my PhD from the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (under the supervision of Prof. Amy W. Ando). I defended my dissertation titled "Three Essays on the Relationship between Land Conservation and Economic Development"  in June, 2019. 

I received my master's in Economics from Department of Economics at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver,Canada.  I am originally from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I earned my bachelor's degree in Economics from Department of Economics, University of Dhaka.

In September 2019, I joined the Eviction Lab in Princeton University as a postdoctoral research associate.
