I am an applied micro-economist in the area of public and environmental economics. The main focus of my work lies on identifying the causal effects of public policy on people, firms and the environment. I am also interested in questions related to fiscal federalism, behavioral public economics and health economics.
I am a member of the environmental and resource economics chapter of the German Economics Association (AURÖ), the CESifo Research Network and the Research Network Sustainable Future.
