Victor Stango is associate professor of economics at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. He has been on the faculty at Tuck since 2004. Before coming to Tuck, he held positions at the University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, U. Tennessee and the Federal Reserve Banks of Chicago and New York. Professor Stango teaches Managerial Economics in the core MBA program, and an elective on Competition and Public Policy.

Professor Stango's research focuses on retail financial services. Professor Stango's current research on "Fuzzy Math and Red Ink" documents cognitive biases in how consumers interpret loan and saving terms that involve compounding. His work with Jon Zinman shows that  these biases have economically substantive effects on household financial outcomes. In related work, Stango and Zinman are investigating whether households' short-term financial decisions are well-described by models of rational economic behavior.

His previous work has focused on credit card and ATM markets, and has appeared in the American Economic Review, The Journal of Law and Economics, The Review of Economics and Statistics and other academic journals. He is co-editor (with Shane Greenstein) of Standards and Public Policy (Cambridge University Press), and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Industrial Organization. Professor Stango's research has been featured in a variety of media outlets including Business Week and CNBC.

Prof. Stango's other current work with Chris Knittel studies the causes and effects of information technology (IT) outsourcing and its relationship to firm survival and economic productivity, with an application to retail banking.
