Klaus Prettner

I am a Professor of Macroeconomics at Vienna University of Economics and Business. In my research, I am addressing questions related to the economic consequences of automation, the impacts of demographic developments on long-run economic outcomes, the interrelations between economic growth and inequality, and the effects of health and education on human capital accumulation. My articles have been published in journals such as the Journal of Monetary Economics, The Economic Journal, Journal of Economic Literature, Journal of Economic Growth, Journal of Health Economics, Research Policy, Journal of Urban Economics, Health Affairs, and The Lancet Global Health.

Apart from research, my other passions are teaching economics and thinking about how academic research can improve everyday lives. You can find many of my lectures on my Youtube channel.

I hope you will find the material I provide on this website interesting and useful.
