In-Koo Cho is a leading authority on game theory whose research has contributed to the development of theoretical economics. His essays from 1987, “Signaling Games and Stable Equilibria” (co-authored with David M. Kreps, The Quarterly Journal of Economics) and “A Refinement of Sequential Equilibria” (Econometrica), opened new horizons in the study of game balance and have become the foundations upon which subsequent researchers have continued advancing the concept of balance in sequential games and signaling games. Additionally, in 2002, In-Koo Cho became the first Korean economist to be selected as a Fellow of the Econometric Society.
