Paripoorna Baxi

Paripoorna is an Associate in the Boston office. She earned her Master’s in Economics from Boston University where she specialized in Econometrics, Public Policy, and Data Science.

Prior to joining Keystone, she worked as a Consultant at the World Bank’s Poverty and Global Equity team. Her primary focus was on estimating poverty rates for developing countries and establishing poverty trends over time. The statistical methods adopted by the team reduce dependency on income and expenditure for estimating poverty rates by using poverty correlates instead. These analyses help support evidence-based policy decisions.

She has also worked as a Research Fellow at BU’s School of Social Work. Her focus was on evaluating Early Education and Child Care policies in Massachusetts and their economic outcomes for low-income families.

Outside of work, Pari has been training in different dance forms since the age of 4 and enjoys exploring new ones. She has also been a part of theatre groups and loves to go for shows in the city.
