Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrakash Mishra is an environmental economist and postdoctoral fellow who applies trade and industrial organization methods to study how environmental and economic activities are jointly distributed across space. With a decade of research experience spanning the Federal Reserve, LSE, and Wharton—where he completed a PhD in Applied Economics—he blends rigorous empirical strategy with policy-relevant questions about household finance, labor markets, and urban infrastructure. He has a proven track record converting natural experiments and lab/field studies into actionable insight, from analyzing health-care shocks’ effects on credit to deploying a city performance analytics toolkit in Boston. Joining Dartmouth as a Globalization Fellow in Fall 2025 before starting as an assistant professor at Caltech, he brings both interdisciplinary training (engineering and economics) and hands-on coding/modeling skills to bear on environmental-economic problems. An underappreciated strength is his early lab work translating experimental and structural models into deployable MATLAB and full-stack tools, signaling a rare combination of theoretical depth and practical implementation.
