I am very passionate about working on Global Value Chains. I have created a novel metric to endogenise the threshold of vertical & horizontal intra-industry trade computation at the product level. I have computed firm-level (manufacturing) GVC participation. I have constructed India's Industry-level (ISIC4 4-digit & NIC2008 5-digit) and Product-level (CPC2 5-digit and NPCMS 7-digit) Input-Output Tables (IOTs) of 24 years with contributions from Services. Both sets of Input-Output Tables satisfy the Hawkins-Simon Conditions. I have an Integrated MPhil-PhD in Economics from CDS-JNU, Trivandrum.
