I hold a PhD in Economics (summa cum laude) from Leipzig University. My research interests include applied econometrics, wealth inequality, public economics, and economic history. At present, I teach part-time as an Adjunct Lecturer at Abilene Christian University and serve as a Fellow at the World Inequality Database, while remaining active on the academic job market.
