Dr. Mavridis' research spans empirical finance, economic policy, and accounting with emphasis on market efficiency, corporate governance, and Cypriot economic development. His work integrates econometric analysis of stock and foreign exchange markets with policy-oriented studies on EU accession impacts, demographic challenges, and shareholder value optimization. The interdisciplinary nature of his scholarship bridges financial theory with practical applications in emerging economies.

Analysis of his publications (2000-2007) reveals consistent focus on time-series modeling of financial markets, particularly volatility clustering and long-memory effects in small-cap exchanges. His research demonstrates methodological rigor in Granger causality testing and predictability frameworks while addressing regionally specific contexts like Cyprus' transition to EU membership. The work shows increasing policy relevance through commissioned studies for governmental and industrial bodies.

As a sitting Member of Parliament, Dr. Mavridis applies his economic expertise to legislative processes while maintaining active academic engagement. His commissioned research for organizations like the Pancyprian Organization of Multi-Children Families and the Employers and Industrialists Federation of Cyprus demonstrates applied scholarship addressing national economic challenges.
