Renata Carneiro

I am currently on the 2026-2027 job market!

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at Indiana University Bloomington, with an expected graduation date of May 2027. My research focuses on household financial decision-making, saving behavior, and intertemporal choice, drawing on experimental and behavioral economics to understand how individuals make financial decisions over time.

My dissertation examines how decision-making tools, financial information, and individual characteristics influence saving choices and financial outcomes. My research combines economic theory, experimental methods, and empirical analysis.

Beyond my academic research, I have experience in applied economic research, financial services, and public policy, including work related to competition, regulation, and financial planning. I also have extensive teaching experience in macroeconomics and statistics at Indiana University.

I am interested in opportunities in both academia and industry where I can apply economic reasoning, quantitative methods, and data analysis to understand behavior and solve practical problems.
