Mahatab Kabir
Khandaker

Welcome to my website! I study international development combining methods in causal inference and macroeconomic modelling. I mainly use large micro datasets combined with novel satellite data for my empirical work. My work largely intersects with development topics in health, gender, labor markets, energy, trade and technology.

Before starting the PhD at SIUC, I was a Research Assistant at North South University, where I worked on projects in energy economics and economic development. I'm on the 2026–27 job market.
