Job Market Candidates 2022-2023

I am an economist with primary research interests in political economy and applied microeconometrics.

In my research, I make use of “big data” from social networks and parliamentary documents as well as tools such as machine learning and natural language processing in a combination with natural experiments to study political selection as well as the political causes and consequences of loss of trust in democracy.

In my job market paper “Trust in politicians and the provision of public goods: Evidence from Germany”, I show that low social capital in the form of trust in politicians negatively affects public good provision.

Placement: Research fellow (6 years), WZB-Berlin, Berlin School of Economics.

I am an Applied Experimental Economist. I am broadly interested in studying the behavioral economics of social inequalities.

I’m an economist interested in understanding social inequalities.  

I conduct research that lies on the intersection of genetics and economics, where I draw on novel findings in the social-science genetics literature to gain a deeper understanding of health and education inequalities. During my PhD, I studied gene-environment interactions, social mobility, and equality of opportunity.  

Placement: Assistant Professor (tenure track), Lancaster University.

I am a micro-econometrician with an interest in labor, (mental) health, and disability insurance.

In my research, I use causal analysis on administrative datasets to examine why individuals exit the workforce and enter disability insurance in various settings. In my job market paper "Is delayed mental health treatment detrimental for employment?" I show that waiting lists for mental health treatment have substantial negative impacts on employment.

• Experimental Economics

I am a behavioral and experimental economist.  

I use experiments to study information effects in strategic interactions. In my job market paper, I investigate how to persuade an audience best. In other research, I examine whether interacting within markets shapes our morality and what we deem fair.
