Shiv Dixit
Shiv Dixit is an Assistant Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Indian School of Business (ISB). He received his PhD in Economics from the University of Minnesota. He is a macroeconomist who uses tools in dynamic contracting theory to address issues in public finance, monetary economics, and development economics.
His dissertation examined how contractual frictions interact with the amount of risk people choose to bear, the kind of rules a government can impose on itself to discipline time-inconsistent behaviour; and the design of efficient demonetisation policies.
Professor Dixit has previously worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and the International Monetary Fund. Prior to his PhD, he graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, with concentrations in economics and mathematics.
