Tim Ruberg

About me
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at 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. During my PhD, I have completed research stays at Keio University, The University of Tokyo, The University of Sydney, and the Australian National University.

In autumn 2025, I will join The University of Tokyo Market Design Center as Assistant Professor (non-tenure).
