Pradyot SharmaEconomics · UTEP

I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market.

Welcome

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Texas at El Paso, where I am also faculty at the Center for Free Enterprise. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University in 2026.

I am an applied microeconomist working on labor economics, regulation, and the economics of digital infrastructure. My research examines how technological change, regulation, and connectivity shape labor markets and economic opportunity.

In a separate line of work, I study partisanship and voting behavior.

Research & teaching

My research page includes published work on income mobility, automation, and occupational licensing, alongside current working papers and projects.

At UTEP, I teach Money and Banking and History of Economic Thought. See my teaching page for past courses.
