Includes bibliographical references

My dissertation uses novel empirical methods to explore large, national-level issues that affect developing economies across several dimensions. I study a variety of issues such as unequal educational access and attainment, labor market consequences of educational investments, affirmative action programs, nationwide infrastructure programs and regional development. One aspect of my dissertation focuses on measuring the causal effects of large-scale government initiatives, which, unlike smaller researcher-led interventions, come with a unique set of challenges like addressing significant general equilibrium effects, imperfect implementation, and sporadic or poor-quality data. I consolidate conventional data from household surveys and census data, with data from more innovative sources like satellite imagery, geospatial data, state-level legislation and news reports. I also employ innovative econometric techniques and various instrumental variable strategies in order to overcome data and identification difficulties and comprehensively explore the efficacy of large-scale policies in developing countries.
