Economist | Faculty @IIM_Calcutta Interested in Macroeconomics & Macro-Finance.
IIM Calcutta congratulates Prof. Ankit Kumar, for being selected for the "Scholarship Scheme for Faculty Members from Academic Institutions – 2022" by RBI based on his research proposal "Financial Heterogeneity, NBFCs, and Investment Responses to Monetary Shocks in India."
The research paper titled, “Economic Conditions and Related Party Transactions in India,” co-authored by Prof Ankit Kumar has been published in the Journal of Contemporary Accounting & Economics. Key Highlights: 1) Economic growth boosts business RPTs while uncertainty reduces RPTs in India. 2) Business RPTs are more affected by macroeconomic conditions than opportunistic RPTs, which are more sticky. 3) RPTs in manufacturing and profitable firms vary more with economic fluctuation.
It is really weird that we have collectively chosen to memory hole this fact.
A win for purpose-driven innovation!🏆 We are delighted to share that the Executive Programme in Corporate Sustainability (EPCS) by IIM Calcutta and offered by programme partner, TalentSprint (a part of Accenture), has won the prestigious ET Brand Disruption 2025 Award. This recognition celebrates the powerful synergy of academic excellence and strategic outreach, positioning sustainability not just as a concept, but as a transformative career path for professionals to drive meaningful change. Congratulations to the teams that brought this vision to life and Prof. Runa Sarkar, Prof. Ankit Kumar and Prof. Saikat Maitra for leading this program. #IIMCalcutta #ETBrandDisruption2025 #CorporateSustainability #ExecutiveEducation #LeadWithPurpose

Did pandemic containment policies disproportionately affect low skill workers? @srinivasan_m and Kunal Dasgupta find such policies were more costly for low skill workers and low cost workers also faced higher infection rates! tinyurl.com/bdeyjkda @WileyEconomics #EconTwitter
