I am interested in Education, macro and population mostly and although not a strong distinction but IPE would be preferable over DevEcon. As a part of Bachelors/Masters, I have taken courses in Micro, Macro, International Economics and Financial Markets. However, they would be mostly introductory level and not intermediate. My background in Mathematics is quite advanced though. As for concentration on research areas, I would say they are mostly in the poverty alleviation, developmental econ and political economy areas.
