Moritz Mendel

Hi! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland. Previously, I completed my PhD at the University of Bonn.

My field is labor economics with a focus on education and inequality. In my recent work I use administrative data and dynamic discrete choice models to understand how education policy can address persistent economic inequality.
