Short Bio

I am Assistant Professor at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, Junior Research Fellow at ZEW Mannheim - Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research, TRR 266 Accounting for Transparency  Research Fellow, Research Fellow at the EU Tax Observatory, and Skatteforsk  Member.

I am also closely affiliated with the University of Mannheim & ZEW Mannheim tax researchers as a Board Member of the Leibniz Science Campus MannheimTaxation.

Research

My interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Business and Economics explores how taxes influence the decisions of businesses and individuals. 

I study the effects of tax regimes on tax evasion, tax avoidance, and business investment behavior. I am especially interested in the consequences of tax transparency regimes (intended and unintended).

My work has been published in the Journal of Public Economics, amongst others.
