Athanasios Orphanides is the Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus and a member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank.
Prior to his appointment as Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus in 2007, he served as Senior Adviser at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the USA where he started his career as an Economist in 1990. While at the Federal Reserve he taught undergraduate and graduate courses in macroeconomics and monetary economics at Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins University. Dr Orphanides has also been a Fellow of the Center for Financial Studies (Frankfurt), a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (London), and an International Research Fellow of the Kiel Institute for World Economics.
Dr Orphanides has published numerous articles on a wide variety of topics in economics and has co-edited a number of conference proceedings on monetary policy and history. A major theme of his work on monetary economics has been the evaluation and design of monetary policy in real time. Among other issues, he has studied simple monetary policy rules, optimal control policies and inflation targeting and has examined the complications for monetary policy that arise from imperfect knowledge regarding the formation of expectations and unobservable concepts such as the output gap. In addition, his work has examined the implementation of monetary policy near the zero bound of short-term nominal interest rates.
Dr Orphanides holds Bachelor of Science degrees in mathematics and economics as well as a PhD in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
