About Me

I am a PhD Student at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. My research interests include international trade and tariff policy, Economic History, and Open Science. The main project of my PhD thesis is research using a self-collected and harmonized dataset on trade and tariffs in the German Empire at the product level. This incomparable granularity from 1880 to 1913 allows me to pose cutting-edge research questions about the current phase of globalization in the period of the first globalization.

📚 My Research

I am a new researcher with a wide range of interests and skills. While my focus is International Trade and Economic History, I am curious about the meta-level of science and applying and developing new tools in Open Science.

My thinking vibrates around efficiency at the core. I apply a range of quantitative methods to comprehensively investigate the role of friction, like tariffs, in trade. My research in Open Science is driven by understanding the frictions of research, improving the dissemination of information and knowledge, and creating tools for doing so more efficiently. I also have experience using qualitative methods, having worked for a DFG-funded panel study and conducting experimental research.
