Profile

Sujoy Mukerji completed his undergraduate studies at Presidency College, Calcutta, followed by an MA in Economics from the Delhi School of Economics and a PhD from Yale University. He joined Queen Mary University of London as Head of the School of Economics and Finance in September 2015, coming from the University of Oxford, where he was Professor of Economics.

His research focuses on decision-making under uncertainty, particularly ambiguity, and its applications in economics and finance. More broadly, he is interested in the intersection of bounded rationality and economic theory.

Mukerji's work explores the foundations of ambiguity—situations where probabilities associated with outcomes are poorly understood—and its implications for economic decision-making. Ambiguity is widespread in economics and not limited to the uninformed or unsophisticated; even experts often cannot distinguish clearly between competing models based on historical data alone. In such cases, it may be prudent to adopt strategies that are robust to uncertainty about the “correct” model.

His research includes developing models that incorporate ambiguity into dynamic games with incomplete information, principal-agent frameworks, and other core economic contexts. He has also studied how ambiguity affects efficient allocations under general equilibrium, portfolio choice, trade, and asset pricing in financial markets, especially when agents differ in their attitudes toward ambiguity. Recently, he has engaged in experimental work testing decision-theoretic models of ambiguity.
