  Welcome to my page.

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher in economics at Leuphana University Lüneburg (since 2009). Previously, I studied Business Administration (German Diplom in 2006) and Economic and Social Sciences (Diplom in 2007) at the University of Lüneburg. I defended my doctoral thesis "Essays in Empirical Labor Economics" in March 2009.


My research focuses on applied microeconometrics, mostly on labor economics related issues. See "Research" and the announcement section to the right for details.

My main occupation at the moment is in a project financed by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research where we merge firm level data from official statistics with data collected by the Federal Employment Agency. Project partners are the research data center of the Federal Statistical Office and the Federal Employment Agency.

On the left, you can find some links to my CV and my papers as well to other stuff I find interesting.

Enjoy your stay.
