Theory without measurement can only have limited relevance for the analysis of actual economic problems. Whilst measurement without theory, being devoid of a framework necessary for the interpretation of the statistical observations, is unlikely to result in a satisfactory explanation of the way economic forces interact with each other. Neither ‘theory’ nor ‘measurement’ on their own is sufficient to further our understanding of economic phenomena.

My research interests are examining the empirics of, both, business cycle theories and growth theories for both Advanced Economies (AEs) and Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) and linking the empirical evidence to the labor market outcomes. My objective, particularly, is understanding the contribution of human capital to the growth of both AEs and EMEs.
I am also interested in analyzing the formal and informal institutional structures, from a historical macroeconomic standpoint, that underpin the wealth generation process in a free-market capitalist economy and, also, the Emerging Market Economies. I am particularly interested in identifying those institutional structures that link to the distribution of wealth in society and identifying, and measuring, the socio-economic factors, and variables, that play a critical role in so far as the degree of distribution of wealth is concerned.
I am the founder of Dialogue with Manhar. The objective, through this platform, is to be able to identify appropriate, and adequate, research ideas and implications of those ideas in terms of macroeconomic challenges facing the AEs and EMEs.
I am, also, the CEO & Founder of Academy for Data Sciences. It is an educational institute, with the headquarter in Pune, in the business of providing technical skills to students. I am working on a book titled ‘Data Sciences and Critical Thinking: How, and Why, Econometrics is, both, Data Sciences and Application of Critical Thinking Abilities’.
I am also a Fellow at Tando Institute. Here is the link to my profile.
