The Economics & Public Policy area at IIM Raipur brings together a dynamic, multidisciplinary team of scholars with expertise spanning diverse domains of economics and policy. Our faculty specialize in international trade, monetary economics, macroeconomic policy, development economics, industrial organization, firm-level competition, innovation studies, energy economics, and intellectual property rights.

We are actively engaged in both theoretical research and applied policy analysis. Faculty members contribute to national and international debates on critical issues such as public policy, innovation and IPR governance, sustainable energy transitions, and market regulation. Our work is regularly published in leading academic journals, and we collaborate closely with government department (state and centre) and policy institutions.

The area offers a rigorous curriculum designed to equip students with strong economic foundations and practical analytical skills. Core courses include econometrics, microeconomics, macroeconomics, business research methods, and development policy. A rich set of electives allows students to explore advanced themes such as innovation economics, international economics, IPR and innovation policy, developmental economics, and energy and environmental economics.

By combining academic rigor with real-world relevance, the Economics & Public Policy area prepares future managers, policymakers, and analysts to interpret economic signals, evaluate policy choices, and drive strategic decisions that shape economic outcomes, innovation ecosystems, and sustainable development.
