Junjie Ren

I am currently a Research Fellow at Institute of Operations Research and Analytics (IORA), National University of Singapore (NUS), before which I obtained my PhD in Economics from NUS.

My research interests lie in the fields of behavioral economics, experimental economics, and applied microeconometrics, with a focus on people’s (mis)perceptions/beliefs/cognition about certain aspects of ourself, such as our self-confidence and limited attention, and how they shape behaviors in various contexts such as decision-making, investment, and business. Method-wise, I conduct online experiments and empirical analysis to infer credible causality. I also build theoretical models to derive implications that are testable using experimental and observational data.
