Dr Constantinos Repapis

Constantinos' research focuses on the history of economic thought, political economy, economic methodology, historiography, and interdisciplinary work. He has worked on the evolution of Hayek’s business cycle theory and more generally on the development of economic theory during the 1930’s. His research also introduces and investigates the concept of the ‘common reader’ in economics, and how reader responses may be used in charting the history of economic concepts and ideas. Furthermore, he is interested on how economic models influence government policy and the public discussion, especially in relation to the moral hazard concept. Finally, he has worked in developing new links between economics and the social sciences and humanities and he has organised workshops on Economics and Anthropology, Economics and the Plastic Arts and Economics and Semiotics. He recently also edited a volume on Economics and Art Theory.

He is committed in developing a pluralist agenda on how economics is taught in higher education. He is a co-principal investigator of Economics: Past, Present and Future (https://www.economicsppf.com/), an on-line resources website funded by the Independent Social Research Foundation. On this website, students, academics and the public can find a series of interviews of the following celebrated economists: Sheila Dow, Geoff Harcourt, Charles Goodhart, Tony Lawson, Julie Nelson, Ha-Joon Chang, K. Vela Velupillai, Anwar Shaikh and Jayati Ghosh. The website includes complete transcripts of the interviews and other material that the viewer can use to understand the alternative perspectives and traditions that exist within economics.

Finally, he is one of the editors of Economic Thought, an associate editor of Economia Politica and the Cahiers d'économie politique - Papers in Political Economy. His research has appeared in a number of journals and edited volumes and he recently received the Craufurd Goodwin best article in the history of economic thought.
