Welcome to my website!

My name is Sebastian Link and I am a Senior Economist (PostDoc) at the ifo Institute in Munich, member of the Junior Faculty of LMU Munich, and Affiliate of the CESifo and IZA Research Networks.

Here is my CV.

My research covers various topics in Macroeconomics, Public Economics, and Labor Economics. In particular, I work on macro issues using micro data, the expectation formation of firms, and the adjustment of firms to shocks and policy interventions such as minimum wages and the COVID-19 pandemic.

You can learn more about my research here.
