Akib Khan

I am an Economics PhD student at Uppsala University, Sweden. Broadly, I am interested in human capital investments in developing countries and international migration. Please see Research for publications and work in progress. Previously, I was a Jr Economist with IDinsight in Lusaka, Zambia, leading experimental and quasi-experimental impact evaluations in agriculture, health, and education, and providing M&E support to governments in Zambia, Malawi, and Ghana. With a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Economics from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, my past experience includes stints with the World Bank, IPA, IGC, and BRAC School of Public Health.
