Despina Gavresi
I am an awarded research fellow at the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna, Department of Economics, an extramural research associate at the University of Macedonia, a member of the research team of the Origins-Project and a managing editor at the Cambridge Elements in Law, Economics and Politics. Prior that, I have been employed as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg, Department of Economics and Management, a visiting researcher at the LIS Data Center and a research assistant at the University of Macedonia, Greece. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics, M.Sc. in Economic Analysis and Policy and B.Sc. in Economics with a specialization on Applied Economics and Quantitative Methods from the University of Ioannina and the Department of Economics.
My research interests span a broad range of fields, with a primary focus on Applied Macroeconomics, Institutions and Political Economy and Cultural Economics. I also maintain secondary interests in Socio-Economic Demographics and Applied Microeconomics with an emphasis on survey data.
Collectively, my research aims to contribute to the development of more resilient and better-informed societies. I investigate the multifaceted impacts of socio-economic crises, historical legacies, and cultural dynamics, offering critical insights into fostering inclusive societies, strengthening trust in political institutions, promoting European integration and social cohesion, and informing effective policymaking. My work is intended to bridge academic research with policy relevance, deepening our scientific understanding of complex societal dynamics.
