Welcome, I am an Associate Professor of Public Health at the Department of Economics, Econometrics and Finance at the University of Groningen (Netherlands). Before that, I was a Senior Researcher at ETH Zurich, KOF Swiss Economic Institute (Switzerland). Moreover, I am a research fellow at IZA. I completed my PhD studies at Goethe University Frankfurt and TU Darmstadt (Germany).
My sick leave research has been featured by the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal or the Economist, and cited as a reason for the Healthy Families Act and the FFCRA emergency sick leave provision. Furthermore, I have recently written an editorial on paid sick leave, which was published in TheHill.
Research Interests: Health Economics, Labour Economics, Applied Econometrics.
