He earned his Ph.D. in Economics from AUEB, where his dissertation examined international tax competition and the constraints that globalization places on the formulation and implementation of national fiscal policies. Prior to joining the faculty at AUEB, he held teaching positions at the University of Cyprus (2008\u20132009) and the University of Ioannina (2009\u20132018).<\/p><p>His research lies at the intersection of Public Economics, Political Economy, and Economic History. More specifically, his research explores how political incentives, and institutional frameworks shape the design of fiscal policy across countries, as well as the long-term determinants of states\u2019 fiscal capacity. By employing modern econometric analysis techniques, his research seeks to address both contemporary and historical questions, ultimately contributing to a deeper understanding of how economic policy is shaped by political and social dynamics over time. Professor Kammas\u2019s publications appear in leading international journals, including the <em>European Economic Review, Journal of Economic Behavior &amp; Organization, Public Choice, Explorations in Economic History, Journal of Comparative Economics<\/em> and <em>Economics Letters<\/em> among others.

The high quality of the research work produced by the AUEB faculty is demonstrated by the large number of publications in eminent international journals.<\/li><li>Efficient organizational structures supportive to research work. AUEB has established a Research Center in 1983, in order to manage and allocate research funds. It also has established one of the best Libraries in the region, as well full IT and telecoms infrastructure to facilitate research<\/li><li>Research Labs. Research activity is basically organized in Research Labs. There are 29 research laboratories currently in operation at AUEB. In addition, a well-organized Liaison Office, a European Documentation Center and also an OECD Documentation Center support effectively the research and information needs.<\/li><li>High-level PhD studies. Since 2000, all departments of AUEB provide organized Programs of PhD studies. The total number of PhD students has increased from 20 (in 1990) to about 300 (in 2007).
