what-if(s) in economics
Note from the editor

What-if Economics intends to put forward the imperfections (and perfections) of economic theories using an analytical or a philosophical structure, depending upon the nature of the question posed. It answers the what-if(s) of modern-day economic theories. The nature of economics is such that when modelled as science looks academically viable, but limits our perception to an environment constrained by ‘perfect’ assumptions. Seldom it does account for socio-political and psychological factors. That is when economics as a social science comes into play. Ideas of development economics, behavioural economics, to name a few, accommodate for such deviations and provide us with a better way to look at the world. Being from a developing country and experiencing diverse phenomena beyond the scope of conventional economic theories makes me sometimes question but mostly adopt them to the quest of revelations about development evidence. This page, thus, is a means to convey my research inquisitiveness in the fields of, but not limited to, development economics and political economy. All of your comments, criticisms and feedbacks are valued.
