Venky Venkateswaran

Venky Venkateswaran is Associate Professor of Economics at NYU Stern School of Business. His research focuses on macroeconomics and economic theory with emphasis on informational frictions in banking, monetary policy, and market structures. Recent publications analyze geographic funding risks in deposit markets, monetary business cycles through Hayekian perspectives, and structural evaluations of US bank expansion.

Venkateswaran's scholarship demonstrates consistent focus on how information asymmetries shape economic outcomes. His pandemic-era work models optimal mitigation policies and examines long-term belief scarring effects of COVID-19. Methodologically, he employs structural modeling to examine banking diversification, market-making under search frictions, and efficiency in information acquisition.

Publications showcase strong thematic coherence in analyzing information's role across diverse domains including financial markets, monetary transmission, spatial competition in banking, and epidemic response. Recent work exhibits increasing integration of behavioral factors in macroeconomic models.
