Hello,

I am an economist and incoming research associate at the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at the CUNY Graduate Center. While obtaining my PhD from the Vienna University of Economics and Business Department of Economics, I visited the London School of Economics International Inequalities Institute, worked as a research associate at the Research Institute Economics of Inequality and as an Economist at the OECD.

My research is about demographic economics, household finance and inequality. I am particularly interested in improving the available evidence on the distribution of wealth and bequests. This includes unearthing new data and creating tools to make data from different sources and countries comparable.

For my work, I received the Eduard-März-Award of the Austrian Chamber of Labour and the George-Smith Award of the University of Oxford’s Department of Social Policy and Intervention. Moreover, I worked with the Austrian National Bank as a Klaus-Liebscher-Economic-Research Scholar. As a researcher, I have consulted the City of Vienna and the Austrian Ministry for Social Affairs.
