Inga Jonaityte

Inga Jonaityte serves as a Researcher and Lecturer in Behavioral Economics at Ca' Foscari University of Venice's Department of Management within the Venice School of Management. She maintains dual affiliations with the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage and three research institutes: Digital and Cultural Heritage, Complexity, and Innovation Management, operating from the San Giobbe campus.

Her academic foundation includes a PhD in Management (2014) from Ca' Foscari with a research residency at Princeton University's Psychology Department. Earlier qualifications comprise a Second Level International Master in Finance and Economics (Honors) from Ca' Foscari, dual Honors B.Sc. degrees in Economics and Finance from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and two Honors Associate of Art degrees (Art and Business Administration) from Harry S Truman College after eight years of U.S. academic and professional experience.

Dr. Jonaityte's research synthesizes behavioral economics and psychology to investigate decision-making under risk, organizational plasticity, and strategic adaptation in dynamic environments. She pioneers experimental-computational methodologies examining how cognitive processes shape economic outcomes, with applications spanning financial behavior, organizational resilience, and social attitudes through laboratory and field experiments.

Her publication trajectory reveals consistent focus on cognitive mechanisms in economic contexts, evolving from foundational work on financial decision architecture (2013-2016) to contemporary cross-cultural examinations of social attitudes (2023) and organizational cognition (2020). Current research priorities center on behavioral solutions for financial inclusion crises through the MUR-funded I.COPE.BEST project.

As a core member of the Center for Experimental Research in Management and Economics (CERME), she directs laboratory operations including experimental design consultation, subject pool management, and data analysis support. Her grant leadership includes coordinating the "Beyond the MiFID" initiative for cognitively optimized financial assessment frameworks and serving as Lead Developer for the pandemic-era financial inclusion project I.COPE.BEST (MUR, 2023-2025).
