Nikita Sangwan
Visiting Assistant Professor, Indian Statistical Institute (Delhi)
Nikita Sangwan is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Centre for research on the Economics of Climate, Food, Energy and Environment (CECFEE), Indian Statistical Institute (Delhi) and an EfD Early Career Research Fellow. She holds a PhD from the Indian Statistical Institute (Delhi). Her research interests are in the fields of Technology, Labor, Environment, and Agriculture with a particular focus on the gender perspective. Her research focuses on the gender-differentiated labor impacts of climatic shocks and the role of social safety nets in mitigating the adverse effects of such shocks. She recently engaged with a Randomised Control Trial (RCT) to understand how lowering job search costs and harnessing social networks can stem social constraints to women’s employment. She is currently working on experiments with digital job platforms to study the role of beliefs and information in job search behavior and the impact of AI algorithms on labor market dynamics.
