Welcome to my Personal Website
I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance in Munich in November 2022.
My research focuses on Public Finance at the intersection of international trade with a particular interest in corporate and consumption taxation. I am currently studying corporate tax competition, the interaction between different tax policy instruments, and their effects on firm decisions as well as local public finance.
Before joining the MPI in November of 2022, I was a PhD student at the Chair of Public Finance at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen. I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Tübingen in 2022 and also hold a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Economics from the University of Tübingen
