About me

I am Anubhav Jha, a Postdoctoral Associate in the Formal Theory and Quantitative Methods group at Department of Politics, Princeton University. I earned my Ph.D. from the Vancouver School of Economics, UBC. I am an Applied Microeconomist with research interests at the intersection of Development Economics, Political Economy, and Industrial Organization. My job market paper shows that identity-based discrimination among primary voters is the main driver of underrepresentation in the U.S. House. While there is discrimination by general election voters, interest groups, and party leadership, and candidates from underrepresented groups on average possess lower political ambitions, these factors do not substantially contribute to underrepresentation.

I am on the 2024/25 job market.
