Maulik Jagnani is an Assistant Professor in the Fletcher School and Department of Economics at Tufts University. His research focuses on microeconomic topics in environmental health and human capital in lower-income countries. One area of his work studies how households and firms anticipate and adapt to extreme environmental health conditions, such as heat, polluted air, and floods. Another explores the consequences of poor environmental and economic conditions on human capital formation, such as education, health, and productivity. He also investigates the impacts, both intended and unintended, of government policies on environmental health and human capital outcomes.
