Neha Bairoliya

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Finance and Business Economics at the USC Marshall School of Business and an Associate Editor of Economic Inquiry.

 

My research is in macroeconomics, labor economics, and demographic economics, with a focus on social insurance in aging societies. I study how pension rules influence retirement and benefit claiming, and how differences in health and longevity shape inequality in later life. I combine heterogeneous-agent life-cycle models with large-scale survey and panel data to evaluate how policy reforms affect household decisions and well-being in the United States and large emerging economies.

 

Before joining USC, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Minnesota.
