## Early life and education

Angeletos was born in Athens, Greece. He earned his B.A. degree in economics from Athens University of Economics and Business in 1996, and received his M.Sc. in Economics in 1997 from the same university. Angeletos earned his Ph.D. in Economics in 2001 from Harvard.[4] Angeletos received a scholarship from the Alexander S. Onassis Foundation to complete his doctorate.

## Academic career

After graduating from Harvard, Angeletos became a member of the MIT faculty, and was awarded tenure there in 2007. In 2006, Angeletos received a Sloan Fellowship,[5] awarded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Shortly after receiving tenure, Angeletos won the Bodossaki Foundation Prize in Social Sciences for distinguished young Greek scientists in 2008.[6] During 2013–14, Angeletos held the Chair of Macroeconomics and Finance at the University of Zurich.[7]

## Contributions to economics

Angeletos has published many articles in the field of macroeconomics. In particular, much of his research has investigated the impact of informational frictions in macro settings.[8][9][10][11] He has made many notable contributions to the field of global games, which followed the work of Stephen Morris and Hung Song Shin.[12] More recently, his work has focused on the roles of expectations, information, and bounded rationality in the business cycle.[13]
