Research Infrastructure
Applied
Economics is crucially dependent on computing facilities. There is a computer
lab in the Division used by our research students and students of M.A. for
hands-on exercises as part of Applied Econometrics and other applied courses.
The Division also has a small research library with a rich collection of
handbooks, reference materials and important texts for ready reference.
