Impact

I actively communicate my research to the public in various ways. For example, I actively write op-eds and guest posts about my work, e.g., for the Impact London School of Economics Impact Blog or INOMICS. Aside from 'pure' research, I comment on topical economic policy issues, such as the plans for the digital euro in the Wirtschaftsdienst (in German). Furthermore, I engage with the media to inform journalists about the research findings of my publications. Important outlets that covered my work are The Economist, The Guardian, The i newspaper, The London Times, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, FOCUS, n-tv,  Rheinische Post, Frankfurter Rundschau,  or Business Insider. My work on the productivity effects of Covid-19 has been also featured in impactful books. Lastly, I publicly communicate my work in online lectures and seminars, such as ROSES (see the recordings below) or an expert panel of the OASPA association. By doing so, I even reached out to leading politicians, such as the Federal Secretary of Health in Germany, Karl Lauterbach. 

In 2024, I will be an invited speaker and panelist on open access in academia at the "Open Access Days" and the Annual Meetings of the German Economics Association.
