My areas of research
Credit frictions and globalization
How does globalization affect firms in the presence of imperfect capital markets? How do credit frictions affect exporters?
Innovation and international trade
How do exports and innovations interact? What are the implications of quality innovations on the gravity equation of trade?
Corporate taxation and export behavior
How do corporate taxes affect the exports of multi-product firms? Which effects have tax reforms on the exported product portfolio?
Teaching
- In the summer term 2023, I offer the Bachelor's course "Model European Union" including a two-day simulation game and expert talks at the University of Göttingen.
- I additionally organize the lecture series "Economics in Action" providing Bachelor's students first insights into the different fields of economics.
