Welcome! 

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Public Finance, Leibniz University Hannover, in the group of Maximilian Todtenhaupt. I hold a PhD in economics from KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt where my supervisor was Dominika Langenmayr. I was a Visiting Doctoral Research Fellow at NYU in 2019 and at NHH Bergen in 2018. 

Most of my research is on policy-relevant topics in applied microeconomics, located at the intersection of public economics and other fields, including labor and population economics, development and distributional economics, and the economics of crime.

My recent work has focused on the effect of pension generosity on women's fertility behavior, tax evasion via citizenship-by-investment programs, the association between U.S. defense and security aid and hidden wealth in offshore banks, and the distribution of (pension) wealth in Germany.
