Cornell University

My name is Thomas Jungbauer, I am Assistant Professor of Strategy & Business Economics at the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. I am an applied micro-economic theorist with diverse research interests covering market design, industrial organization, labor economics and entrepreneurship. I have been working on models of misrepresentation and manipulation, matching in the labor market when firms have market power, and the determinants of the branding decision in firms that sell vertically differentiated products. Recently, I started working on models related to the organization of innovation, and as well as the impact of online consumer reviews and online advertising on different industries. My newest paper deals with the connection of employee poaching, turnover, and managerial compensation. I am originally from the region close to Vienna, Austria, and received my PhD in Managerial Economics & Strategy from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in 2016. Currently I teach Business Strategy across various MBA programs at Johnson.
