I am an applied microeconometrician mostly interested in determinants and consequences of inequalities among individuals. Methodically, I combine long-term field experiments with microeconometric panel data methods, incentivized measures and the use of biomarkers. The aim of my research is to enhance our understanding of the malleability of individual inequalities.
Most of my current research projects fall in one (or more) of the following domains:
Formation of human capital, skills and preferences and their consequences for educational, health and labor market outcomes
The role of educational transitions for the manifestation of intergenerational persistence concerning educational and labor market success
Development of political preferences (redistribution, authoritarianism and populism)
