About me

My research focuses on empirical macroeconomics and the econometric methods used to study it. I am particularly interested in time-series models and Bayesian econometrics.

My interests include the sources and dynamics of economic fluctuations, the effects of monetary and fiscal policy, and the interaction between financial markets and the real economy. I study these questions in both domestic and international settings.

I joined the University of Göttingen in 2014. Previously, I held positions at the Universities of Cologne and Münster. I received my PhD in Economics from Ghent University in 2008.

I teach macroeconomics, international finance and empirical methods at undergraduate and graduate level. My courses include Macroeconomics I, Monetary Economics, and Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy.
