Karan Bhasin

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University at Albany, SUNY. I study how beliefs respond to new information and why the effects of monetary and fiscal policy differ across economic conditions. I develop econometric and computational methods to address the selection and measurement problems that arise in answering these questions. I also use large language models to identify and measure policy interventions from historical documents. My research has been covered by The Wall Street Journal and The Economist. Before graduate school, I held positions at think tanks, government agencies, and multilateral institutions. You can reach me at kbhasin@albany.edu.
