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!

• I regularly hire Research Associates/Predocs, and they are usually students who have completed their Master degree in Economics and aim to apply for PhD programs either in India or abroad. 

• BREW-ESA 2024 will be held in Ashoka University from 15-17 Dec, 2024. More on that here.
