Tapas Kundu

I am a Professor at the Oslo Business School, Oslo Metropolitan University. I hold a PhD in Managerial Economics & Strategy from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, and have previously held academic positions at the University of Oslo (ESOP) and UiT The Arctic University of Norway, as well as research affiliations with the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).

My research is grounded in microeconomic theory and game theory, with applications to competition policy, industrial organization, political economy, development economics, and law and economics. I study how strategic incentives, information, and institutional constraints shape behavior and outcomes—often in settings involving contests, bargaining, regulation, and organizational design. A recurring theme is to connect formal theoretical mechanisms to empirically relevant predictions and policy questions, including how rules and incentives affect competition, participation, and welfare.

At OsloMet, I teach and supervise at both the bachelor’s and master’s levels, including courses in investment/financial markets, portfolio management, and microeconomics.
