About Me

Dipankar Dasgupta received his early education in Calcutta (now called Kolkata), India and moved on to the University of Rochester, NY, USA, where he was awarded a PhD degree in Economics. He did most of his academic research and teaching in the Delhi and Kolkata campuses of the Indian Statistical Institute, from where he retired in August, 2006 as Professor of Economics. He has also taught and researched in visiting capacities as well as a regular faculty member in different universities in Canada, Hong Kong, Japan and the USA.

His interests vary from Economic Theory to creative literature and vocal music. He writes stories, memoirs and poems in English and Bengali and sings semi-classical music, mostly in Bengali. He is also interested in foreign languages, Japanese being his favorite. He writes for the printed media and is a regular TV commentator on subjects of socio-economic interest. Dipankar and his wife, Sankari, live in Kolkata, India. Their son, Utteeyo, teaches Economics at the Franklin and Marshall College in Pennsylvania, USA. Utteeyo's wife, Subha Mani, teaches Economics at Fordham University, New York City.
