Tim Ruberg

About me
I am Project Assistant Professor at the Market Design Center at The University of Tokyo. Before that, I received my PhD from the University of Hohenheim. 

In my research, I am using microeconometric evaluation methods to study the causal impact of policy interventions and education programs on a wide range of individual outcomes such as health, educational attainment, and labor market performance.
