Prior to her appointment as an Economist at the OECD, Dr. Caroline Tassot was an Associate Economist at the University of Southern California's Center for Economic and Social Research. Before joining USC, she was a doctoral fellow at the Pardee RAND Graduate School, and an assistant policy analyst at the RAND Corporation. Her dissertation focused on subjective well-being, in particular looking at the impact of unemployment and inequality on well-being, as well as methodological aspects related to the measurement of well-being. During her graduate studies at Sciences Po Paris, she did field work for RAND's randomized control trial on social pensions in Mexico at the RAND Center for Latin American Social Policy.

She has also worked at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, editing and updating the OECD 2010 Health database and collaborating to the 2014 Economic Survey of the United States. As part of her undergraduate studies, Caroline spent a year in Mexico City, studying one semester at the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey. While in Mexico, she interned at the Inter-American Development Bank where she worked on labor market and social security programs, and at the Mexican Health Foundation where she helped coordinate the International Consultation to Design a Collaborative Community on Health Metrics and Evaluation.
