!!Inés Macho-Stadler - Biography
\\
Inés Macho-Stadler started her research career in the field of contract theory, incentives and information economics. She has kept an active interest in this very broad topic, on which she wrote a very widely known book (in Spanish, then translated into English and Chinese), while enlarging her range of contributions in many different directions. She has articles on pure game theory, extending the traditional solutions for cooperative games to environments with externalities. But mostly she has explored a wide range of applications to fields of great social impact. She has worked on industry regulation, on the economics of health, on the possible remedies to tax evasion, and on the control of emissions.\\
