 I am an Assistant Professor (Akademischer Rat) at Leibniz University Hannover’s Institute of Macroeconomics. I am also an Affiliated Researcher at Maastricht University and United Nations University’s Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT), affiliated with the AidData Research Consortium and with the RTG 1723 Research Training Group Globalization and Development (GlaD) at the Universities of Göttingen and Hannover.
From October 2019 onward, I will be on leave as a Humboldt fellow at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). My research is broadly situated in development economics, macroeconomics, political economy and applied econometrics. Within those broad fields I am particularly interested in the spatial distribution of economic activity and the political economy of ethnicity. The German Science Foundation (DFG) funds part of my research through a project called “Shining (New) Light on Regional Inequality, Convergence and Development”.
