Samuel Siewers

I am a research fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) and a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Development Economics and Global Political Economy at the University of Göttingen. During the 2026–2027 academic year, I am also a visiting researcher at the Department of Economics of the University of Barcelona.

I completed my PhD in economics at the University of Göttingen in 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Andreas Fuchs. In the fall of 2024, I was a visiting PhD student at the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute.

My research employs quasi-experimental methods to study questions related to economic development, political economy, environmental policy, and international trade.
