Dimitrios Argyros

Welcome to my website!

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at University College Dublin supervised  by Benjamin Elsner. I am currently visiting Aix-en-Marseille School of Economics  hosted by Roberta Ziparo. From October 2024 - December 2024 I will be visiting University of Pennsylvania's Population Studies Center hosted by Hans-Peter Kohler.

I am an applied microeconomist focusing on: Development Economics, Health Economics, Family Economics and Political Economy.  My current work is centered around the following thematics :

• The role of access to finance as a determinant of household and children well-being in developping countries

• The economic determinants of fertility decisions

• The role of subjective expectations about health on household consumption and saving behaviour in rural poor communities

 I am also interested on : the interplay between institutional quality and gender norms, migration and intergenerational transmission of health.  For more information about my research you can look here. 

I hold a MSc in Economics from the University of Warwick and an MSc in Finance from the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens. 

I am a co-organizer of the Young Irish Economists Seminar Series (YIESS)  a platform  aiming at bringing together young economists across Ireland and beyond to present their work and engage in a vibrant research community.

I am funded by the Irish Research Council.
