Welcome! 
I am Felix Schönenberger and this is my website.


I am an Assistant Professor (untenured) at the Political Economy of Global Development Lab and the Institute of Economics and Law at the University of Stuttgart. I obtained my PhD in Economics from USI Lugano

I am an applied microeconomist with a strong research interest in empirical political economy. My research uses quasi-experimental methods to study how representative democracy works. I study how voters form beliefs and participate in the electoral process, how voter preferences are aggregated by electoral competition, and how electoral institutions ensure democratic accountability of elected politicians.
