Samyam Shrestha
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Georgia. My research interests lie at the intersections of labor economics, agricultural economics, and economic development. Much of my current research focuses on the impacts of (im)migration shocks. I will be on the 2024-25 job market.
