Savannah Adkins

I am a Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Bentley University. I received my MSc in Development Economics from the University of Sussex in 2017 and my PhD in Economics from Clark University in 2022. 

My research primarily relates to policy impacts and implications for women. One strand of research relates to development economics with a focus on female labor and health in South Asia, spanning topics relating to female labor force participation, female household bargaining, intimate partner violence, child marriage, and sex-selective abortion. The other strand relates to policies and decision-making impacting female health, and in particular, the effect of anti-abortion legislation and maternal health decisions.
