Biography

Georgia Kosmopoulou is a Professor of Economics since 2008. She was awarded an Edith Kinney Gaylord Presidential Professorship in 2009 and a David L Boren Professorship in 2022. She received her PhD from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign in 1996 and taught at Virginia Tech for a year before joining OU. Her areas of specialization are in Industrial Organization, Public Policy Analysis and Game Theory. She served as a Program Director in Economics at the National Science Foundation in 2013-2016. She was Chair of the Faculty Senate at OU in 2011-2012 and served on the Faculty Advisory Council to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in 2011-2013. She is currently the Associate Dean for Research in the College of Arts and Sciences and serves as an Intermittent Expert at NSF. She is also Co-Editor for Southern Economic Journal and Associate Editor for the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and for Economics Bulletin. Professor Kosmopoulou’s current research interests are in auctions, network analysis, strategic pricing, firm behavior and market survival. Applications of her work can be found in government procurement auctions, contract renegotiation, strategic network formation and firm dynamics, and “cap-and-trade” mechanisms for CO2 emission permits. Her current NSF funded collaborative work addresses technology use to facilitate social distancing and coping with the disruption of COVID19. The project investigates how technology helps to cope with the stresses of social distancing during the pandemic and contributes insights about the impact of work adaptation enabled by technology on economic vulnerability and resilience. Her research contributions were highlighted in the NSF Director’s blog in 2016.
