George Nikolakoudis

I am a Cowles Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University for 2026-2027, and will join the Yale Department of Economics as an Assistant Professor in July 2027.

I study how organizational and informational frictions shape macroeconomic fluctuations and how household heterogeneity influences aggregate outcomes.

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Princeton University in June 2025. My full CV is available here. You can contact me at georgios.nikolakoudis@yale.edu.
