I am a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at Leibniz University Hannover. I also serve as a Visiting Lecturer at the Vietnam-German University and as a Research Associate at the Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis at the Australian National University. In the summer semester of 2024, I was a Visiting Professor of International Macroeconomics at the University of Konstanz.
My research lies at the intersection of behavioral economics, experimental economics, and macroeconomics. My current work uses survey experiments to study how different policy frameworks shape economic expectations. In particular, I examine the impact of green transition policies on consumers’ macroeconomic expectations, the effects of fiscal expansion on income inequality expectations, and the role of relatable narratives in shaping inflation expectations.
I hold an M.A. in Policy Economics from Williams College (USA), an M.Sc. in Quantitative Economics, and a Ph.D. in Economics from Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany). Before pursuing my doctoral studies, I worked as an Economist in the Monetary Policy Department at the State Bank of Vietnam from 2007 to 2015.
