Xakousti (Xenia) Chrysanthopoulou studied Economics at the Department of Economics of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and attended courses at Universite de Marseille II, France, through the Erasmus program. She completed her MSc in Applied Economics and Finance in the inter-departmental graduate program jointly offered by the Department of Economics of NKUA and the Department of Mathematics of the University of the Aegean. Her PhD in Economics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) focused on “Interactions of monetary and fiscal policy and the labor market: Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models.” She conducted three years of postdoctoral research at the University of Ioannina on macroprudential policy, the banking sector, and monetary policy, and subsequently continued her postdoctoral work at the Department of Economics of AUTH.

Experience – Academic Positions

In September 2025 she assumed the position of Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at AUTH, with a specialization in “Macroeconomics with an emphasis on theoretical models.” Prior to joining AUTH, she served for several years as Visiting Lecturer and Academic Fellow at the University of Macedonia (Department of Economics; Department of Balkan, Slavic, and Oriental Studies; Department of International and European Studies), at the University of Ioannina (Department of Economics), at AUTH (Department of Economics), and at the International Hellenic University (Department of Organization and Business Administration).

Research Interests

Her research interests lie in macroeconomic theory and policy and the modelling of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) frameworks. In particular, her work focuses on monetary policy, inequality and non-Ricardian households, issues related to the labor market and trade unions (corporatism), as well as macroprudential policy and the banking system.
