Kaushambi Bagchi

Welcome! I am a PhD Candidate in Public Policy at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore. 


My research focuses on sexual and reproductive health and rights and understanding the explanatory role of intrahousehold bargaining power and socio-cultural norms. My doctoral thesis studies these aspects with a geographical focus on South Asia. My research utilizes both quantitative and qualitative methods


I have previously worked as a Consultant in ICRIER, an economic policy think-tank based in New Delhi, India. My research there included topics in regulatory policy and political economy, with a sectoral focus on telecommunications and the digital economy. 


I hold a B.A (Honors) in Economics from the University of Delhi (India) and an M.Sc. in Financial Economics from Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (India). I will be on the job market in the fall of 2024-25.
