Konstantinos Theocharopoulos

Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Siegen, with my defence expected in December 2025. I currently work as a Teaching and Research Assistant at the Chair for European Economic Policy, University of Siegen.

My work combines formal theory and microeconometric methods to study the interaction between economic and political decision-making, with a particular focus on the strategic behaviour of politicians as they pursue electoral and political goals.

My research interests include political economics, institutional economics, defence economics, authoritarian politics, history, and formal theory. Recently, I have also developed a strong interest in building original datasets from the ground up, which I plan to integrate into future projects.
