Aintzane Aboitiz Braun

Aintzane Aboitiz Braun graduated from Yale with a BS in Economics and Cognitive Science in December 2022, and worked for EGC during the Spring 2023 semester as a Research and Program Assistant. She assisted with a wide range of EGC operations, particularly connected with new research initiatives. Aintzane will join Evercore Partners in New York as an Investment Banking Analyst. 

During my time at EGC I had the opportunity to work on exciting initiatives led by Yale economists and researchers. I focused most of my work on the newly launched Gender & Growth Gaps Project, but also on several administrative tasks that helped the center run smoothly. It was great to see the coordination and synergy between various research efforts, and I was thrilled to contribute my part to cutting–edge research in economic development. –Aintzane Aboitiz Braun

In her short time working with us, Aintzane moved a number of key EGC projects forward, including reviewing existing metrics that track gender gaps in the economy for the Gender and Growth Gaps project and setting up a new series of articles called ‘Perspectives’ on the EGC website that showcase commentaries by the EGC community. She learned new skills quickly and applied herself to a wide range of tasks, including archival research for the EGC History Project. It has been great to have her here and we wish her all success as she begins work as an analyst. I hope some of the research and the researchers she has encountered here will inspire her own work in the future. – Aishwarya Lakshmi Ratan, Deputy Director, Economic Growth Center
