I am Assistant Professor for Finance at Hanken School of Economics, Helsinki, Finland. Previous appoints include NUI Galway (Ireland), KIT (Germany), University of Cologne (Germany), and ETH Zurich (Switzerland)-
I received a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Mannheim (Germany) and have since then developed a broad research agenda which comprises research project in macro-finance (financial intermediation, shock propagation, and financial regulation), macro-labor (evaluation and optimal design of labor market institutions), environmental economics (impact and optimal design of climate treatise), and computational economics (high-dimensional dynamic optimization algorithms). My current research project “On the Interconnectedness of Financial Market Frictions and Labor Market Frictions: Macroeconomic Dynamics and Macroprudential Policies” analyses how financial frictions and labor market frictions interact and jointly determine macroeconomic dynamics after crises. The project is funded by “The Foundation of Economic Education” (Liikesivistysrahast).
In addition to the academic track, I have also been active in advising and consulting the German government, the Austrian chancellery, and the European Commission on the evaluation and derivation of labor market reforms.
