Welcome to my Economics research profile. 

My research studies the international production and global sourcing decisions of firms, and related questions of trade policy. I have also worked on topics of competition, collusion, and consumer protection. This website gives an overview of my research publications.

I am not active in academics today but more than happy to receive your messages at fischerthoene[at]gmail.com.
