I am Khushi Jain, a quantitative economist and research consultant based in Paris and Delhi, with experience spanning antimicrobial resistance, health economics, labor economics, and global development finance. I enjoy turning complex data into policy-ready insights, building econometric models (FE, DiD, Monte Carlo simulations), and collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams to inform decision-making. My master’s research on a four-day workweek demonstrates my ability to synthesize literature, develop hypotheses, and perform robust econometric estimation. In my current and past roles, I design end-to-end analyses, build multi-source datasets, and communicate findings to policymakers, funders, and non-technical stakeholders. I am passionate about evidence-based policy, scalable finance mechanisms, and impactful interventions in health and sustainability.
