Nikita Sangwan
Indian Statistical Institute

Welcome to my website! I am a Lecturer at  Queen's University Belfast and an EfD Early Career Research Fellow. I am a Ph.D. scholar from the Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi Center and a Junior Fellow at the Centre for research on the Economics of Climate, Food, Energy and Environment (CECFEE).

My primary research interests are in the fields of Technology, Labor, Environment, and Agriculture with a particular focus on the gender perspective.

My 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. My work also delves into the role of women's agency in enhancing the household's welfare. I recently worked on a Randomised Control Trial (RCT) in Delhi, India to understand how lowering job search costs and harnessing social networks can stem social constraints to women’s employment. Currently, I am working on experiments in collaboration with digital job platforms to study the role of beliefs and information in job search behavior and the impact of artificial intelligence algorithms on labor market dynamics.
