Pranjal Drall

I am a JD-PhD student in Financial Economics at Yale Law School and the Yale School of Management. My research interests are in corporate finance, bankruptcy, and financial intermediation. In one line of work, I study how information frictions distort asset valuations and how legal and financial institutions ought to deal with these problems.

Prior to graduate school, I was a predoc at the Energy Policy Institute of the University of Chicago (EPIC) with Thom Covert and Ryan Kellogg where I worked on misallocation and productivity in the US fracking industry. Before that, I worked with Ian Ayres at Yale Law School on retirement menu design and other law and economics projects.

I graduated with a B.A. in Mathematics and Economics from Grinnell College.

Outside of research, I play tennis, root for the Green Bay Packers, and watch a lot of independent film.
