I am an agri-environmental economics theorist, focusing on the agri-environmental policy design by applying tools from (i) behavioural economics, (ii) game theory and mechanism design, (iii) contract theory, and (iv) industrial organisation.

I obtained my PhD from the Department of Agricultural Economics & Rural Development at the Agricultural University of Athens, Greece. Prior to my PhD studies I completed the Master program in Environmental Economics & Management at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden. Also, I hold a Bachelor in Economics from the University of Piraeus, Greece.

Currently, I am interested in the following topics:

  • The effects of non-economic incentives (e.g., norm compliance, altruism, ambiguity, etc;) on production, both at individual and at a firm level (e.g., coop- eration, product differentiation, price discrimination, vertical integration, etc.).
  • The design of environmental policies (e.g., environmental taxes, green subsidies, environmental regula- tions, etc.) that facilitate producers’, both individuals and firms, pro-environmental behavior (e.g., green production, emission reduction, etc.).
  • The influence of both economic and non- economic incentives on the evolution of markets as a socially responsible entities.

You can find more information on my academic background and research activities at my (up to date) Curriculum Vitae. I maintain an account on Twitter/X, Mastodon, and Blue Sky.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing contract bridge (currently learning the TOP3 bidding system), reading crime fiction, watching movies, travelling and spending time with friends, accompanying them with a cup of (either hot or cold) coffee.
