My name is Maria Iosifidi and I am an Associate Professor of Financial Economics in Montpellier Business School since September 2017. I hold a PhD in Economics from Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece. My research focuses on empirical banking and finance (bank-firm relationships; bank lending and institutions; financial intermediaries, corruption, and the shadow economy) and public finance and income distribution. My research has been published in such journals as Operations Research, Journal of Banking and Finance, European Journal of Operational Research, Journal of Business Ethics, and Ecological Economics. My teaching is in the field of Banking and Money and Business Economics.
