Dhingra, Nikita

Georgia State University

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Economics at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University. My research lies at the intersection of Health Economics, Environmental Economics, and Development Economics. I am particularly interested in how external forces such as public policies, medical innovations, court rulings, and environmental conditions shape women’s health, labor market outcomes, and agency across both developed and developing countries

Before starting graduate school, I worked as a development sector consultant focused on strengthening India’s state capacity by reforming public finance architecture and fostering financial inclusion through diverse social welfare programs. Beyond economics, I am a fitness enthusiast who enjoys running, hiking, and boxing. I also love reading—especially history, science, and geography and am a dedicated movie buff.
