Veeshan Rayamajhee

Veeshan Rayamajhee serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics, Applied Statistics, and International Business at New Mexico State University's College of Business. His research bridges institutional economics with real-world policy challenges, specializing in disaster resilience, federal governance transitions, and substance policy impacts through rigorous empirical analysis.

His educational credentials include a Ph.D. in Economics (distinction) and M.A. from the University of New Mexico, complemented by a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (Mathematics & Business Management) and A.A. in Philosophy (distinction) from Bryn Athyn College, plus specialized coursework in Democratic Governance at Germany's University of Osnabrück.

Rayamajhee's scholarly focus centers on institutional responses to complex societal challenges. His work examines how social capital mediates disaster recovery, the governance of global commons like fisheries, and climate change impacts on Nepalese agriculture. Recent publications reveal methodological sophistication through synthetic control approaches for policy evaluation and polycentric frameworks for nested externalities.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) shows consistent thematic threads: Nepal's political transition after regicide, marijuana legalization's public health consequences, and disaster-induced institutional evolution. Geographically, his work spans Nepal, Germany, and the United States, employing mixed methods from field surveys to econometric modeling across environmental, health, and political domains.

Teaching Principles of Microeconomics at NMSU, Rayamajhee maintains active research engagement with Nepal through fieldwork on earthquake recovery and climate adaptation.
