My name is Lennart - I am a development economist focusing on international trade and development finance. Particularly, I am interested in the socio-economic effects and the political economy of development. For this purpose, I utilize a broad range of methods and data (geospatial data, primary data collection in the Global South). Regarding the latter, I also have a strong interest in the ethical underpinnings of development research and the research-policy nexus. In that respect, I am co-organizing the Digital Development Dialogue (3D) seminar series ( with my colleague Sarah Langlotz, Uni Göttingen), which brings together development practice and research in a digestible format.
