I am a PhD Student at the Department of Economics at Yale University interested in Labor Economics and Macroeconomics.
Before my PhD I was working as a Pre-doctoral Research Associate for Josef Zweimüller at the University of Zurich, where I worked- and joined/started projects with Andreas I. Mueller, David Card, Rafael Lalive and Fabrizio Colella. I received a BSc from the University of Freiburg (Germany) and an MA from the University of Zurich, both majoring in Economics. During my master's studies I worked as a Research Assistant for Josef Zweimüller for two years.
You can find my CV here.
About me: I am Croatian (here), but my parents migrated to Germany, where I grew up in a small town on the border to Switzerland (here, for the longest roofed wooden bridge in Europe). I like to play soccer and read about history (, and play some Europa Universalis IV if time permits).
