Moritz Mendel

Hi! I am a PhD candidate at the University of Bonn. I am on the 2023/2024 job market.

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.
