Orestis Troumpounis
I am a Professor of Economics in Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
In the past I held positions in the University of Padova, Lancaster University, and Carlos III in Madrid. BSc in 2006 in Athens (AUEB) and PhD in 2011 in Barcelona (UAB).
​
My research is on political economy and public economics combining knowledge from economics and political science and I have published in journals of both disciplines including the AJPS, JEEA, JPE Micro, JLEO, JoP, JPubE, among others.

Warning: This photo is from 2013, and my coauthors, kids, and wife make fun of me. Not about fearing reality—just the only photoshoot of my life, thanks to joining a business school back then...
