I am Associate Professor at the School of Economics and Political Science and Managing Director of the Institute for Economic Research and Policy (ERP) at the University of St.Gallen.

I am interested in bridging the gap between welfare economics and public economics (broadly interpreted). My project VALURED (financed by  the European Research Council) deals with the relationship between principles of distributive justice and optimal taxation. My project TaxFair (financed by the Research Council of Norway) extends the analysis to empirical aspects. My project EVAS (financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation) studies the distributional views of people.

I am co-organizer (with Maya Eden) of the webinar series: "Normative Economics & Economic Policy."
