RITWIK BANERJEE

I am an Associate Professor at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. I amble around at the intersection between Behavioral Economics and Development Economics. My research aims to use insights from psychology and other related disciplines to illuminate economic issues that are relevant in developing countries. 

Here are some recent news/updates:

• Currently, I am not hiring summer/winter interns (particularly for BTech/BE undergraduates). Due to large number of such requests, I am unable to individually reply to all. Sorry about that!

• Recently, our paper titled "Using social recognition to address the gender difference in volunteering for low promotability tasks", co-authored with Priyoma Mustafi, got accepted at Management Science. Here is the published version.

Some of my favorite publications are listed below:

• “Exponential Growth Bias in the Prediction of COVID-19 Spread and Economic Expectation” with Priyama Majumdar (University of Warwick). Economica, 2023.

• “The spillover effects of affirmative action on competitiveness and unethical behavior”, with Nabanita Datta Gupta and Marie Claire Villeval. European Economic Review, 2018.

• “Corruption, Norm Violation and the Decay in Social Capital”, Journal of Public Economics, 2016.
