“Economics is a tool that allows us to speak the same language in different parts of the world. We at GAMES Econ aim to seamlessly serve our global clients as a team, while keeping our regional accent”, Mariscal said.

 

“Regulation is converging at the international level, and firms increasingly need global experts with local knowledge. GAMES Econ’s world-wide experience and regional presence allow us to offer a coherent approach to global questions across different regions”, Delgado said.

 

“Complex policy issues need a thorough understanding of the incentives faced by different stakeholders. GAMES Econ experts’ extensive experience in policymaking and consulting allows us to speak clear economics, to bridge the divide between business, policy, and society”, Greco said.

 

“Sophisticated but accessible economics is in high demand by corporations, regulators, and courts all over the world. GAMES Econ is aware that the need to clearly understand and untangle complex problems calls for, not only state-of-the-art economic analysis, but clear and comprehensible communication. We make complexity understandable and useful to decision-makers”, Yemail said.
