Angelos Lagoudakis

Hello! 

I am an Assistant Professor (Term) in Experimental and Agricultural Economics at Iowa State University (ISU). 

I earned my Ph.D. in Economics, along with a Graduate Certificate in Data-Driven Food, Energy, and Water Decision-Making and a Graduate Certificate in Teaching from Iowa State University; my M.S. in Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics from Michigan State University; and my undergraduate diploma (B.S. & M.S.) in Agricultural Economics and Rural Development from the Agricultural University of Athens. 

I am an applied microeconomist focusing on consumer and producer behavior, food and health economics, and industrial organization. I employ experimental economics methods and applied microeconometrics to answer questions relevant to economists, data analysts, and policymakers. 

My current work centers on the behavioral foundations of economic rationality, including how emotion regulation and cognitive ability influence decision-making, and on the economics of food insecurity and access, examining how food environments shape nutritional inequality across U.S. communities. 

I am also a 2026 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Faculty Fellow in ISU's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and a 2026–2027 Mercatus Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.
