Karan S. Shakya

I am a PhD candidate in The Ohio State University's Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics (AEDE).

My research interest is on the intersection of Development and Environmental Economics. I am especially interested in studying the drivers and consequences of environmental and agricultural changes in vulnerable settings, with a focus on how communities are impacted by these stressors and how they can build resilience to these shocks.

I completed my B.A. at Dickinson College with a major in Economics and Environmental Studies.

Starting in the Fall 2025 semester, I will be joining Kenyon College as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies and Economics.

I am from Kathmandu, Nepal.
