Teaching

My teaching interests are in microeconomics, game theory, political economy, public economics, and managerial economics.

I am currently teaching the course Microeconomics II (BA, joint with Catherine Roux) and I give tutorials for the course Economics A (BA), both at the University of St. Gallen. For the course Economics A I wrote a book chapter 'Introduction to Game Theory' which can be found here.
