Research

Dr. Khanna's recent research focuses on the role of poor quality judicial institutions in limiting the access to finance for firms and creating a misallocation of resources in the economy. In a dynamic heterogeneous-agents setup with formal and informal firms, she studies the impact of credit-contract enforcement in creating the income per capita disparities across Indian States. In another discrete-choice empirical exercise with difference-in-differences, she studies the impact of judicial speed on occupational choices of the working population in India.
