Valentin Lang

I am an Assistant Professor of International Political Economy and Development at the University of Mannheim.

Previously, I was at the universities of Zurich, Cambridge, Heidelberg, and Paris and worked for the IMF and the OECD.

My research addresses the political, economic and distributional implications of globalization and global governance.

Current projects examine the political economy of international economic cooperation, analyze the backlash against globalization, and study the causes and consequences of economic inequalities.

In my work, I usually combine economics with political science and focus on statistical methods for causal inference.

For my research, I was awarded the Fritz-Grunebaum-Award and the Prize for Excellence in Applied Development Research.
