Research:
I am primarily interested in issues of distribution: of income, and over space. I do a fair amount of empirical work, although increasingly I have been focusing on theoretical issues, and lately on book-length works. Fragments of Inequality: Social, Spatial, and Evolutionary Analyses of Income Distribution (Routledge, 2006) describes much of my current thinking on structure and change in income distributions. Made in India : The Economic Geography and Political Economy of Industrialization (Oxford University Press, 2007) draws on the industry location work I have done in the last five to six years.
I have authored or co-authored around fifty journal papers, book chapters and reports. The papers have been widely published in geography, development economics, planning, and urban journals. My research has been funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the U.S. National Institute of Justice, the American Institute of Indian Studies, and the World Bank. Right now I am deep into a book on urban change in India and am begining to think about a project on inequalities that matter. |
