Assessing the interplay between stock market value, macroeconomic indicators and firm fundamentals in the European Food Industry
JAN 2025 – 202625European countries, 2005–2024: how GDP, sales, profits (EBITDA) and stock prices interact
Granger causality tests and a VAR model trace which variables predict which, and with what lag
Net sales lift stock valuations with a lag; GDP, counterintuitively, weighs on profits
Research Assistant to Dr. Stelios Michalopoulos
OCT 2024 – 2026Turned historical government reports into datasets on colonial investment in Sub-Saharan Africa
Extracted and categorized data on schools, hospitals, roads and railroads for future mapping
Then, in 2025, built the AI tool mapping 13,000+ musicians' refugee origins
To what extent has the ‘I Move Electrically’ subsidy program stimulated EV market demand in Athens across different income levels?
15Athens municipalities in my bilingual survey of electric-vehicle adoption across incomes
Found demand most elastic among middle incomes; subsidy partly worked, limited by affordability
Compared income groups with Mann-Whitney U and χ² tests
