Juan Camilo Gómez is an Associate Professor with tenure at the University of Washington Bothell's School of Business, specializing in game theory, bargaining, and microeconomic theory. He earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Minnesota and his B.Sc. in Mathematics from Universidad de los Andes in Colombia. Education: Ph.D. Economics (1998–2003), University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN B.Sc. Mathematics (1990–1996), Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia Research Interests: His research focuses on foundational and applied aspects of game theory, including bargaining models, coalition formation, cooperative solution concepts, and general equilibrium. He explores how efficiency can be achieved in strategic interactions, especially when agents may behave manipulatively or when traditional balance conditions do not hold. His work contributes to understanding how coalitions form and how outcomes can be predicted or designed to ensure equitable and efficient allocations. He also investigates the implications of reference points in bargaining and the role of aspirations in shaping cooperative behavior. Publications Overview: Across his publications, a clear trajectory emerges from foundational theoretical work—such as axiomatizing core extensions in cooperative games—to applied models that predict coalition formation and bargaining outcomes. His research consistently bridges rigorous mathematical frameworks with practical economic questions, including market interpretations of cooperative solutions and strategic pricing models like 'Pay What You Want'. Awards and Honors: 2010 MBA Professor of the Year, University of Washington Bothell Teaching and Advising: Gómez has taught a wide range of courses from undergraduate calculus and mathematical economics to graduate-level game theory and quantitative methods for business. He has held teaching roles at institutions including Macalester College, University of Copenhagen, Universidad de los Andes, and University of Minnesota. He has also co-directed undergraduate theses, such as that of Santiago Saavedra, and served on numerous academic committees including MBA Admissions and faculty hiring. Labs and Teams: While no specific lab is mentioned, his collaborative working papers with researchers like Camelia Bejan and P.V. Balakrishnan suggest active participation in research networks focused on game theory and economic modeling.
