I am a Sustainable Cooperation (SCOOP) Research Fellow and member of the Economic and Social History Group at Utrecht University. I previously was a Max Weber Fellow in the Department of Economics at the European University Institute in Florence. I recently received my PhD from the London School of Economics. I also received B.A., M.Sc. and M.Phil. degrees from Witten/Herdecke University (Germany), Bocconi University (Italy), and the University of Cambridge (UK). My latest paper "The Unequal Spirit of the Protestant Reformation: Particularism and Wealth Distribution in Early Modern Germany" is forthcoming in the Journal of Economic Growth. My article "Urban Political Structure and Inequality: Political Economy Lessons from Early Modern German Cities" recently came out in The Journal of Economic History (vol. 84, 2, 2024).
