Ines Lindner is an Associate Professor of Mathematical Economics at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam's School of Business and Economics (SBE). She earned her Diplom-Mathematikerin from the University of Hamburg in 1998 and a Ph.D. in Mathematical Economics in 2003. Her research focuses on social and economic networks, collective action, voting power dynamics, and technological innovation's impact on inequality. Lindner leads the SBE Innovation Center, which won the VU Innovation Prize in 2017 for the Online Summer Prep-Campus SBE. She is also a Tinbergen Institute Research Fellow.
Her work bridges theoretical economics with practical applications, including analyzing network structures in social learning, fake news diffusion, and small-world effects on economic growth. Lindner has published in top journals like Journal of Development Economics and International Economic Review. She co-organizes major events like the TI Dutch Network Economics Day and the Networks Match Making Event, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
Research highlights include quantifying bot influence on social consensus, modeling naive learning in networks, and exploring how small-world networks affect innovation diffusion and inequality. Lindner’s contributions to economic theory and network science have been recognized through awards and collaborative projects, including an NWO-funded study on social network analysis in organizations.
