How Data Analytics Is Transforming Economic Research in the U.S. and Beyond
INTRODUCTION Numbers have always shaped policy — but today, the scale and speed of data generation have rewritten the rules. According to the World Bank, nearly 90 percent of the world’s data was created in just the last two years. This explosion has fundamentally transformed economic research, pushing economists to move beyond traditional surveys and spreadsheets into the world of machine learning, high-frequency indicators, and complex digital footprints. From Delhi to New York, data analytics now underpins decisions that influence inflation, employment, financial stability, consumption, and risk.

How Behavioral Nudges Could Improve Workplace Productivity and Urban Policy. AI-Generated.
INTRODUCTION In the rush of modern workplaces and crowded cities, tiny decisions often shape massive outcomes. According to the OECD, workplace distractions cost companies more than $600 billion each year in lost productivity—a striking reminder that small, moment-to-moment choices carry significant price tags. Whether we hit “reply all” impulsively, stand in the middle of a subway door instead of stepping aside, or forget to use a crosswalk, the smallest behaviors can cumulatively shape how effectively systems function.

AI, Automation, and the Future of Jobs: Lessons for India and the U.S.. AI-Generated.
INTRODUCTION Automation is no longer a distant concept; it is an active force reshaping industries across the world. According to a 2023 McKinsey report, up to 800 million jobs could be displaced globally by 2030, with emerging economies like India and advanced economies like the United States facing different but equally urgent challenges. The key question today is not whether automation will reshape work, but whether societies can adapt quickly enough to manage the transition. Although India and the U.S. are worlds apart in scale and economic structure, both countries offer valuable lessons on preparing for a future where human–machine collaboration defines prosperity.

The Digital Infrastructure Dividend: Cloud, Chips, and Connectivity as the New Growth Engines. AI-Generated.
INTRODUCTION Infrastructure once meant roads, ports, and railways. Today, it means cloud servers, semiconductor fabs, and fiber-optic cables — the arteries of a digital economy.

The Economics of Housing Affordability in New York City: Beyond Supply and Demand. AI-Generated.
INTRODUCTION Housing in New York City has become one of the most powerful illustrations of modern inequality. According to the New York City Comptroller’s Office, more than half of all renters are considered rent-burdened, spending over 30 percent of their income simply to keep a roof over their heads. Median rents in Manhattan surpassed $4,500 per month in 2024, placing homeownership far beyond reach for most middle-income households. These realities highlight a deeper problem: the affordability crisis cannot be understood through the simple lens of supply and demand. Instead, it is shaped by a complex network of zoning laws, wage stagnation, global financial flows, and policy choices that collectively determine who can live in the city and under what conditions.
