S. Jessica Zhu

I am an economist at Amazon, where my work focuses on measuring the causal impact of brand marketing and supporting stakeholders in marketing investment decisions. I am also a research collaborator at Precision Development (PxD), conducting research on digital agriculture.

My research interests are in causal inference and international development economics, particularly in agriculture, information and communications technology, and gender issues. I have extensive research and field experience, including designing and implementing experimental and quasi-experimental studies, overseeing data collection, conducting advanced empirical analyses, and publishing high-quality original research.

I received my Ph.D. in Agricultural and Applied Economics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Previously, I worked at the World Bank, the International Food Policy Research Institute, and Precision Development.
