Elias Tsakas

Welcome to my homepage. I was born in Athens, and grew up in Patras, which is located on the west coast of Greece.

I am an Associate Professor and Vice Head in the Department of Economics (MPE) at Maastricht University. I also serve as an Associate Editor at the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and as a Topic Editor at Games.

My research focuses primarily on Economics of Information, Game Theory and Decision Theory. I also work on Behavioral Economics and Experimental Economics, while I am also tangentially interested in Neuroeconomics, Epistemic Logic and Political Economy.

My Erdös Number is at most 4 (Paul Erdös ⇔ László Kóczy ⇔ Jean Jacques Herings ⇔ Christian Seel ⇔ myself). I do not have an Erdös-Bacon Number, yet.

• An interview that I gave for The Reasoner.
