Sophie Bade

Sophie Bade serves as Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics at Royal Holloway, University of London, where she is affiliated with the Centre for Mathematical and Theoretical Economics. Her research actively contributes to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through theoretical economic analysis.

Her scholarly focus centers on microeconomic theory and game theory, particularly investigating fairness in multi-agent systems, dynamic decision consistency, and strategic behavior in matching/voting contexts. She employs rigorous mathematical frameworks to address foundational questions in resource allocation and social choice, with emphasis on mechanism design and preference aggregation.

Recent publications (2016-2023) demonstrate consistent output in top-tier journals including Games and Economic Behavior and Journal of Economic Theory, revealing evolving expertise from political platform divergence to multi-self agent fairness. Her work shows increasing interdisciplinary connections between economic theory, computer science, and political science.

Her scientific recognition includes:

• ARCHES award from Minerva Stiftung Gesellschaft fur die Forschung (2019-2020)

Professor Bade has supervised 2 graduate students and her ARCHES award project demonstrates significant academic impact through Wikipedia citations and social media engagement. Her research consistently receives substantial downloads across platforms, indicating strong scholarly interest.

She maintains active research leadership within Royal Holloway's Centre for Mathematical and Theoretical Economics, driving theoretical innovation in economic modeling and decision theory.
