Research

We apply microeconometric methods to answer policy relevant questions in the areas of labor, family, environmental and health economics. We work with administrative data, survey data, data from experiments, and newly digitized historical data. 

Studium

Students

We teach on the role of the state in a market economy, interventions in the event of market failures, and the effects of taxes. A further focus is on the empirical evaluation of political measures in the areas of population, education, health and the environment.
