Rajan is currently the Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the Booth School of Business, University of Chicago. According to information available on Clarivate’s website, in the last 15 years, 45 of the selected researchers had gone on to receive a Nobel —nine in the same year in which they were tipped by Clarivate and 18 within two years of the distinction. Rajan’s three-year term as RBI governor ended on September 4, 2016.

Exactly one year after his term as RBI governor came to an end, Rajan published a book with his “commentary and speeches” to convey what it was like to be at the helm of the central bank in “those turbulent but exciting times”. — IANS
