Welcome

I am a Senior Economist at the Economics Department of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and currently head the Country Desk for Germany and Latvia. Previously, I have worked on the Country Desks for Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, Tunisia, India and Indonesia. Before joining the Economics Department, I worked in the OECD Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Directorate investigating how globalisation and digitalisation affect the demand for different types of skills. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Munich (LMU) and a Diploma in Sociology, Economics and History of Technology from the Technical University of Dresden. My empirical research has focused on international trade, development economics, skills and labour markets.
