Hi! My name is Vasileios Rafail Karaferis, though I go as ``Vasilis" for short. I am a macroeconomist, working as Teaching Fellow in Economics at the University of Warwick. Before joining the department, I was employed as a Stipendiary Fellow in Economics at the University of Edinburgh (2023- 2026). In October of 2024, I earned my PhD in Economics from the University of Glasgow. My thesis was focused on exploring monetary and fiscal policy interactions in heterogeneous agent New Keynesian (HANK) economies.

My teaching and research interest are primarily centered around macroeconomics and financial economics. More specifically, I am particularly interested in research questions at the intersection of macro-labour, macro-finance, and policy design. I am especially drawn to understanding how labour market structures and financial frictions shape macroeconomic outcomes, and how these, in turn, influence the distribution of income and wealth.
