  Raghu Iyengar

  Miers-Busch, W’1885 Professor of Marketing, The Wharton School

  Professor Raghuram Iyengar’s research interests fall in two domains: pricing and social influence. In the area of pricing, his work focuses on the impact of multi-part pricing schemes on consumer response. Methodologically, Iyengar has developed novel consumer-demand models that capture the effect of multi-part pricing tariffs in a theoretically meaningful way.

  In the area of social networks, Professor Iyengar has investigated how and why such influence may be at work. Across several studies, Professor Iyengar has identified the underlying mechanism(s) such as awareness, social learning, or social normative pressure that may be at work in different contexts. Understanding the mechanism(s) is important not only theoretically but also managerially, because deciding which customers to target and which ties to activate using what message depends on what mechanism is at work.

  Professor Iyengar’s current research focuses on how subscription programs change future customer behavior. His research has been published or is forthcoming in Journal of Marketing Research and Marketing Science. He serves on the editorial boards of Journal of Marketing Research, Marketing Science, and the International Journal of Research in Marketing. He is an area editor at the Journal of Marketing Research, Management Science, and the International Journal of Research in Marketing.

  Professor Iyengar’s teaching interests are in the area of marketing analytics. He earned his PhD from Columbia University and his undergraduate degree from IIT Kanpur, India.
