Aniko Öry
I am an Associate Professor of Economics (without tenure) at the Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University. I was previously an Associate Professor of Marketing at the Yale School of Management.
My research focuses on Microeconomic Theory, Industrial Organizations and Quantitative Marketing. Currently, I work mostly on dynamic games including dynamic price competition between firms and coordination games, and on communication games.
I serve as an associate editor for the Journal of Industrial Economics and the Rand Journal of Economics.

List of women in economic theory: link
Some of us got together and created a (crowdsourced) list of women in economic theory. We hope this list keeps growing! We are sure there are people whom we missed, or whom we do not know of. If you do not want to be on this list, or if you know of someone who identifies as a female economic theorist and would like to be added to this list, please email me at aoery@andrew.cmu.edu.
Women in Economic Theory Conference:
Along with Arjada Bhardi, Joyee Deb, and Anne-Katrin Roesler, we organized the first conference for Women in Economic Theory at NYU. The objective was to offer a platform to present and discuss innovative research in microeconomic theory and to create a research community for future collaboration, mentorship, and professional support. It was a two-day conference with research talks with discussants, a plenary talk, and a panel discussion about thriving and succeeding in the profession.
