State House is actively seeking experts in areas such as macroeconomics, microeconomics, household and welfare economics, and agricultural economics.
The call extends to those skilled in natural resource economics, with a focus on energy, environmental issues, and climate finance.
Additional fields include industrial economics, and law and policy, covering investment climate, ease of doing business, regulation, consumer protection, and climate action, among others.
