My research focuses on the labor market and inequality. In a current research project, we combine several administrative data sources to provide novel evidence on social mobility in Austria from a multidimensional perspective. We further investigate mechanisms behind social mobility, such as childhood neighborhoods, the interplay of changing demand for skills and vocational trainings, as well as higher education expansion. 

During my PhD at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), I started to work on unemployment insurance in Austria, answering questions related to training enrollment or unemployment sanctions. Two other projects study the gendered nature of in-work poverty and the heterogeneity among self-employed in Europe. Additionally, we study social mobility perceptions and political preferences in Austria.

I combine applied microeconometrics and experimental methods to answer my research questions. I work both with administrative data (Austrian social security data, tax data, registry data, and education data), as well as international surveys (EU-SILC, EWCS, EU-LFS) and own tailormade surveys.
