About Nikhil Datta
I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Warwick and Impact Director of the Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE). I received my PhD from University College London in June 2022.
I am an applied micro economist and my research intersects labour, urban and real estate. My work uses a combination of (very) big data, extracting data from text, reduced form empirical work and structural modelling. I occasionally borrow methods from empirical IO.
My research often has policy implications, and I have contributed to policy work for the UK Government on international trade, zero hour contract regulation and minimum wages.
