I am a Professor of Economics at the University of Mannheim. I am also a Research Fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), London/Paris, a Senior Member of the Mannheim Centre for Competition and Innovation (MaCCI) and a Senior Research Fellow at IHS Vienna. 

My main research interests are international trade, economic growth, international macroeconomics and organizational economics. 

My current research focuses on international competitiveness, productivity, trade policy and trade agreements, economic linkages and global value chains, labor markets and firm organization. 

I hold degrees in Economics and in Law from the University of Vienna. I did my graduate studies at Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, where I obtained an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Economics. Prior to joining the University of Mannheim, I was a Marie Curie Fellow at Université Libre, Brussels (ECARES) and Assistant Professor at the University of Vienna.
