Personal Biography
I completed my undergraduate studies in economics at the University of Athens. After taking a short break to fulfil my military obligations and working in the private sector for a year, in 1998 I started my graduate studies at the European University Institute, from which I obtained an MA and a Ph.D. in Economics. I started my professional career as an RTN Research Fellow at the University of Rome III and in 2006 I became a lecturer of Economic Analysis at the University of Macedonia. I joined the Department of Economics and Finance at Brunel in 2012.
Research
Research Overview
Although my interests are quite broad and diverse, my main research focus lies in the areas of international macroeconomics and international finance, especially on current account dynamics and trade/capital flows. My current research also explores issues related to voter participation in elections and candidate spending. I am also doing work related to the economic costs of fear of terrorism, and also on the effects of corruption and financial development on growth.
