As Director of Graduate Studies he helps research students achieve<\/p>\n
Miltos Makris joined the School of Economics at Kent in August 2018, attracted by its dynamism, ambition and vision to produce internationally recognised world-class research plus its commitment in providing excellent research-led teaching to inspire students. Miltos completed his master\u2019s study at the Athens University of Economics and Business, and\u00a0was awarded a PhD in Economics by the University of Essex. He has taught at the Universities of Bristol, Exeter, Leicester and Southampton.<\/p>\n
Miltos\u2019 areas of research cover Economic Theory and Public Economics, and he uses theoretical modelling coupled with computational and experimental analysis. Currently, he is working on two exciting and topical projects which have a number of policy implications. The first is on the design of the income tax code in developed\u00a0countries\u00a0to alleviate inequality, recognising that tax-payers\u2019 earning capability can change over time due to productivity shocks as well as human capital accumulation. The\u00a0second project\u00a0studies information management in dynamic strategic interactions. It provides a collection of results that can be applied to a broad class of dynamic information design\u00a0problems such as market design, voting in international organisations, structure of performance measures in complex organisations and the organisation of mergers.<\/p>\n
