Grisel Ayllón-Aragón

Grisel Ayllón-Aragón serves as an Adjunct Researcher at the School of Social Sciences and Government, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey. Her work integrates microeconomic theory with political economy to analyze decision-making processes, social choice mechanisms, and public policy design for societal well-being.

Her academic foundation includes:

• Degree in Economics from Tecnológico de Monterrey
• Master's in Applied Economic Analysis from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
• Ph.D. in Analysis (Cum Laude, 2012) from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

Specializing in microeconomic applications to political contexts, Ayllón-Aragón investigates voter and candidate strategies in electoral systems, institutional rule design for social agreements, and the alignment of individual incentives with collective welfare. Her research bridges theoretical models with practical policy implications, focusing on reducing opportunity costs in social decisions through mechanism design and strategic analysis of public entrepreneurship.

Her publication trends reveal consistent contributions to social choice theory and electoral behavior, with recurring examination of strategy-proofness in preference aggregation, candidate positioning dynamics, and comparative impacts of positive versus negative campaigning. These works collectively advance understanding of strategic interactions in political markets and inform institutional frameworks for democratic processes.

Recognition includes:

• Cum Laude doctoral distinction (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2012)

She emphasizes mentoring students to develop critical thinking and analytical skills, viewing this educational mission as fundamental to preparing future leaders in economics and social sciences despite no formal advisee listings in available records.
