Pande's research work focuses on the economic costs and benefits of informal and formal institutions and the role of public policy in affecting change. Her work is focused in India, where she examines how institutions can be designed to empower historically disadvantaged groups; how low-cost improvements in information collection and dissemination can enable flexible regulation and more efficient outcomes in areas as diverse as environmental protection and elections; and how biased social norms, unless challenged by public policy, can worsen individual well-being and reduce economic efficiency.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://scholar.harvard.edu/rpande/bio|title=Bio|access-date=2018-10-24|language=en}}</ref>
