Currently, I hold a deputy professorship at Marburg University. 

My research focuses on markets with public-good implications, where choices—about consumption, donations, input use, or insurance—affect not only the decision-maker but also others: animals, the environment, public health, or future generations. In these contexts, the impact of a decision is often difficult to observe: it may depend on hidden quality, delayed consequences, probabilistic outcomes, or socially mediated effects.

I investigate the design and impact of information-based, incentive-based, and behaviorally informed policies that aim to improve decisions under incomplete information, risk and ambiguity, and heterogeneous preferences. I also study how external shocks, such as natural disasters, shift perceptions and behavior.

A central concern across my work is equity: who responds to different interventions, who benefits, and who is left behind. I examine the distributional consequences of policy instruments and explore how they can be targeted more effectively and fairly.

Methodologically, my work is grounded in microeconomic theory and employs causal identification strategies using rich data from retail scanner panels, platform and administrative records, and field and survey experiments.

Ultimately, my research seeks to generate policy-relevant insights to improve decision-making when the consequences of actions are hidden, uncertain, or delayed—and to understand how policies and mechanisms can guide these decisions toward socially desirable and fairer outcomes.

In teaching, I am particularly engaged in the development of analytical skills, different methods and approaches as well as the students’ individual potentials. In terms of content, I focus on microeconomics, climate and environmental economics and policy, public economics and policy, behavioral economics, as well as micro- and panel econometrics at Bachelor's, Master's and PhD levels.
