Interview with Karthik Tadepalli, Economics PhD student at UC Berkeley

For my first episode, I interviewed my best friend from undergrad, Karthik Tadepalli. Karthik and I became friends in office hours for our intermediate microeconomics class in the fall of 2018. In this episode, we talk about our time at Penn, including our time we spent at Penn's Social Deduction Club (SDC), as well as our major, Mathematical Economics. We also discuss economics at UC Berkeley and Karthik's interests in environmental economics, development, and international trade. We end with advice for college students interested in graduate degrees in economics as well as high school students interested in attending Penn for undergrad. Thank you Karthik for being my first interviewee! Karthik's website is https://karthiktadepalli.com/, where he has an awesome set of resource links, and a contact page in case you want to ask him any questions related to the episode.  As always, you can find more about me in my linktree, https://linktr.ee/russianecon. My contact form is open in case you have an idea for an episode. I hope to hear from you, and thank you for listening to this episode!
