I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) and a researcher at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW). I am a research fellow at the Kiel Centre for Globalization (KCG) and one of the co-hosts of the Research Network Sustainable Global Supply Chains.

I am an empirical economist interested in international and development economics. In my research I analyze global value chains, foreign owned companies, corporate responsibility, and social and environmental effects of globalization. In particular, I am interested in the effects of firms’ integration in global value chains and the role of (sustainable) corporate governance for firms and regional development. To study these issues, I analyze detailed firm-level databases using modern micro-econometric methods.
