đź‘‹ Hi! I am Palak, an economic researcher with a strong background in conducting literature reviews, qualitative analysis, and assessing the impact of economic policies to drive data driven decision making.Four years ago, I moved to Australia to pursue my Masters in International Economics and Finance. I paid my way through university, and secured a winter research scholarship to analyse sex selection dynamics in Southeast Asian countries.I have also written a research paper in collaboration with 2 senior economists. Our research was published in the Journal of Governance and Public Policy. As part of this project, I undertook a literature review of a government initiative aimed at providing free LPG connections to impoverished families.Currently, I am working as an Economic Researcher with the New Economy Network Australia where I have created a robust economic database to enable the analysis of economic diversification opportunities in Lithgow. I am also working on assessing the economic impact of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics by simulating different scenarios with variables like ticket sales, sponsorship deals, and construction projects.đź’ˇSkills: Literature Reviews | Data Collection and Analysis | Stakeholder Engagement | Microsoft Excel | Academic WritingPlease feel free to connect with me on pateldpalak@gmail.com.
