I am a Professor of Economics at the University of Hamburg and the Kiel Institute as well as a CEPR Research Affiliate for Economic History and International Macroeconomics and Finance.
After obtaining my PhD in Economics from LMU Munich, I worked for three years as an advisor to the World Bank Chief Economist. You can find my full CV here and my Google Scholar profile here.
