Nency Dhameja

Hi, I’m Nency Dhameja (pronounced “Nancy”), a 6th-year Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Binghamton University, State University of New York (SUNY).

My research focuses on urban and regional economics, public policy, and labor economics. I also work on applied econometrics and AI-based economic modeling.

In my job market paper, When Does Crime Enter House Prices? Evidence from Chicago, I study which crimes are priced into housing values, why most are not, and how the discount emerges between listing and closing.

In my other work, I study whether diversity statement requirements changed faculty hiring, whether Italy's energy-efficiency renovation subsidy led construction firms to overbill, and how retail food environments affect health.

Prior to my Ph.D., I completed an Executive MBA in Singapore and a Bachelor of Technology in India.
