I am a post-doctoral researcher with a focus on international political economy and development economics at the University of Zurich. Many of my recent research projects examine the (economic) effects and (political) decisions of international organizations like the IMF, the World Bank, the UN, and the EU. Other projects focus on the (economic and political) causes of economic inequality across and within countries as well as on the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing it.
My research combines approaches from both economics and political science. Methodologically, most of it is based on statistical methods for causal inference. For my work, I was awarded the Fritz-Grunebaum-Award and the Prize for Excellence in Applied Development Research by KfW and VfS. Before coming to Zurich, I studied economics and political science in Heidelberg, Paris, and Cambridge. Outside academia, I have worked as a consultant for the IMF and the OECD.
