Anastasia Pseiridis

Anastasia Pseiridis is an economist (University of Athens) holding an MPhil and PhD from the University of Cambridge (Queens’ College), UK.

She is Professor of Microeconomics and Sustainability Economics at the Department of Economics and Regional Development, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens.
Her research examines how economic analysis can inform policy decisions related to environmental and planetary health. She has published on sustainable welfare, ecological footprint accounting, population dynamics and GDP growth, and the demand-side economics of lifestyle preferences and their environmental externalities. Her most recent work explores how preventive and reversive medicine can simultaneously reduce resource scarcity and increase wellbeing while contributing to the decoupling of human wellbeing from environmental impact.
Prof Pseiridis brings to the Environmental & Planetary Health Hub the economic rationale for evidence-based preventive medicine. Her contribution centres on identifying the opportunity costs of treatment-focused healthcare, demonstrating how production and consumption choices enabled by medical practice may misallocate resources and increase negative externalities throughout the economy, and providing the systemic economic framework needed to drive institutional change in medical education and practice.
