Kyriakos Petrou

I am currently an Assistant Professor and Director of the Master of Business Administration program at the College of Business Studies.

I was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow jointly hosted by UCLA Anderson School of Management and the University of Cyprus. My research project, titled “The Role of Social Identity on Preferences for Redistribution” (Grant No. 894128), was awarded under the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship program.

I have obtained a PhD degree in Economics from the University of Cyprus, a MSc in Economic Analysis (2012) at the University of Cyprus, a MSc in Monetary and Financial Economics (2009), and BSc in Economics at the University of Thessaly (2007).

My primary research interests are in the areas of empirical econometrics, inequality, political economy, preferences for redistribution, social identity, and social interactions.
