I am a researcher and doctoral candidate at the Center for International and Comparative Political Economy. In the past I did research at the Horizon 2020 project "Combatting Fiscal Fraud and Empowering Regulators (COFFERS)" at the University of Bamberg.

Teaching in the summer term 2020:

Die Politische Ökonomie der Einkommensumverteilung (B-PS) Blackboard

I research issues surrounding comparative and international political economy. In my dissertation, I analyze how income inequality affects political preference formation on the individual level. Furthermore, I do research on the consequences of international tax cooperation on tax evasion and national tax policy. My research interests also include the welfare state and welfare state politics.
