I am a full professor of economics at the University of Tübingen and a research affiliate of CEPR and CESifo.
I study the economics of large and complex organizations.
One strand of my research studies the economics of firms. I strive to understand how digitization and globalization reshape firms and to assess the resulting implications for firms’ employees.
A second strand of my research studies the economics of the public administration. My goal is to understand how to build administrative capacity where it is lacking.
