 I am an Assistant Professor (Akademischer Rat) at Leibniz University Hannover’s Institute of Macroeconomics. I am also affiliated with SoDa Labs at Monash University, Maastricht University and UNU-MERIT, and the AidData Research Consortium.
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 urban and regional economics, macroeconomics, political economy and applied econometrics. Within those broad fields I am particularly interested in the spatial distribution of people & economic activity, the political economy of ethnicity, and the measurement of income & inequality. The German Science Foundation (DFG) funds part of my research through a project called “Shining (New) Light on Regional Inequality, Convergence and Development.” You can learn more about the project, our partners and output at www.lightinequality.com.
