Sundar Ponnusamy
Hello, and welcome to my website! I am an Alfred Deakin Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Economics at Deakin University. Previously, I was a Research Fellow at the Centre for Health Economics at Monash University. I hold a Master’s in Finance and Economics and a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Adelaide, which I completed in December 2021.
My research has so far focused on the effects of natural disasters, conflict, and inequality on various outcomes related to health and development. I also have a keen interest in the domain of Political Economy. Specifically, I have explored issues such as redistributive politics, the persisting phenomenon of female under-representation in Indian state legislatures, and the strategic voting behaviors exhibited by agents in the context of Indian elections.
