Research Fellow, Doctoral Researcher

About

I had studied and worked on Fine Arts for ten years and had paper published on Colour Theory. Also I hold a master degree in Economics and a first degree in Management jointly with Computer Science.

I was a journalist, a ballet dancer and now I carry research on investigating trade and FDI determinants and effects in the discipline of International Economics at the University of Birmingham, UK. My MSc dissertation attempted to explain the impact of countries' characteristics on UK FDI outflows from a gravity approach. My recent research focuses on the dynamics of quantity and quality in international trade. In particular, the mechanisms by which firms break into foreign markets and the impact of “entry” on growth, further entry and exit, as well as the interactive effects between exporting, quality and intermediate goods.

Before taking my current appointment I worked at the Aston University, UK.
