FIELDS OF INTEREST

My research interests evolve around the broad topics of labor, education, and public economics. What ties my research projects together is the question of equal access and opportunities. How can economic growth become more inclusive in order for a maximum number of socio-economic groups to benefit from the economic progress of a country?

Here is a sneak preview of some findings:

  • PERCEPTION_ Individuals' perceived position in the income distribution differs from their objective standing and determines their demand for redistribution (link).

  • EDUCATION_ The qualification of the entrepreneur serves as key signal for future employees during the recruitment process (link). Access to job-related training is more difficult for German women, particularly with children, than for women in the Netherlands and in Italy (link).

  • LABOR_ Market mechanisms alone cannot reduce the existing pay gap between social and other occupations to the satisfaction of individuals (link). Technological change facilitated access to the labor market for individuals with disabilities during the industrial revolution (link).
