Dr. Carina Neisser 


I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Economics at the University of Cologne. During the summer term  of 2025, I am an interim W3 professorship in Public Economics at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Mannheim and have also been a visiting researcher at UC Berkeley and Stockholm University.  You can find my full CV here.

My research focuses on the intersection of public economics, political economy, and applied microeconometrics. I am particularly interested in behavioral responses to taxation and the effectiveness of transparency initiatives in various contexts.
