Tirthatanmoy Das is an Associate Professor of Economics at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB). He received his PhD in Economics from the State University of New York at Binghamton in 2012. Prior to joining IIMB, he was an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Central Florida (2014–2017) and at Temple University (2012–2014).

Das' research spans labor economics, econometrics, health economics, and entrepreneurship. He studies how individual differences, such as abilities, psychological traits, education, on-the-job training, and health, interact with technology, institutions, and policy to shape labor force participation, earnings, workplace productivity, occupational choice, and other labor market outcomes. His work covers both conventional employer–employee and entrepreneurial settings, with a focus on policy-oriented issues of human development across advanced and developing economies.

His research employs both structural and design-based/reduced-form methods. The structural analyses, which often involve complex nonlinear estimation, incorporate methods and insights from computer science, computational biology, bioengineering, and psychology. His reduced-form work, grounded in economic theory, focuses on identifying causal relationships using observational data generated through natural and quasi-natural experiments.

Tirthatanmoy Das joined IZA as a Research Fellow in February 2013.
