Welcome! I am Assistant Professor of International Political Economy and Development at the University of Mannheim. Previously, I was a post-doc at the University of Zurich and did my PhD at Heidelberg University. Before that, I studied economics and political science (and some philosophy) in Cambridge, Paris, and Heidelberg. Outside academia, I have worked as a consultant for the IMF and the OECD.
My research deals with the political, economic, and distributional implications of globalization and global governance. Most of my current projects either examine the effects and decisions of international organizations (so far: IMF, World Bank, UN, EU) or focus on the causes of economic inequality and the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing it.
My work combines approaches from both economics and political science. Methodologically, most of it is based on statistical methods for causal inference. For my research, I was awarded the Fritz-Grunebaum-Award and the Prize for Excellence in Applied Development Research by KfW and Verein für Socialpolitik.
