Umer Sohail
Ph.D. Candidate in Economics
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Delaware. My research interests are international trade, applied microeconomics, and development economics.
I study how trade policy and institutions shape firm behavior in developing economies, using administrative data to examine firms’ responses to changes in market access and institutional constraints.
I am on the 2026–2027 Job Market.
