Welcome to my personal homepage. My name is Philipp Denter and I am an assistant professor (tenure track) of economics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain. I received my Ph.D. in 2012 from the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, and an undergraduate degree in economics (Diplom-Volkswirt, equivalent to M.A. in economics) in 2006 from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany.

My current research interests lie in the fields of political economy, industrial organization, the theory of contests and tournaments, and behavioral economics.
