About Neha

Dr. Neha Agarwal serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Otago, located within the Otago Business School in Dunedin, New Zealand. She completed her PhD in Economics at the University of California, Riverside in 2018 and holds an MA in Economics from the University of Delhi. Agarwal's academic interests center on applied microeconomics, with a focus on development economics, labor economics, health economics, gender disparities, and labor markets, particularly in developing countries. Her research explores critical issues such as the persistence of disability, the impact of son preference on maternal health across cultures and countries, vocational and apprenticeship training programs, household labor supply decisions influenced by married men's earnings, and the motivations behind charitable giving and volunteering, including whether warm-glow givers are also warm-glow volunteers.
