I am interested in (historical) political economy and geoeconomics. In my research I look at historical events to better understand the political economy of non-democracies, regime change, and cultural change.

I am a professor at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) and the University of Hamburg.  

My job market paper has won the Unicredit Econ Job Market Best Paper Award 2019.
