Dr Stavros Poupakis
Lecturer in Economics / Econometrics
Summary
My research focuses on applied econometrics and health economics. I study child development and health inequalities during childhood and take an interest in policy evaluation aimed at reducing inequality and improving children’s development. In a related research agenda, I study the effects of globalization through its impact on trade, politics, and health across both developing and developed countries.
Before joining Brunel, I held positions at the University College London and the University of Oxford. Apart from my academic appointments, I have also worked for several international organizations, such as the World Bank, and the IEA, OECD.
