I am an applied economist in Mannheim, Germany, holding joint appointments at the University of Mannheim, Department of Economics and the ZEW - Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research. I am also a member of the board of the Mannheim Centre for Competition and Innovation (MaCCI), a member of the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center Transregio 224 - EPoS, and a member of the steering group of the Competition Law and Economics European Network (CLEEN).
My research interests lie in industrial organization with applications in innovation economics, corporate finance, law and economics (contract law, antitrust, intellectual property), and public economics. I have published in the RAND Journal of Economics, the Journal of Industrial Economics, the Journal of Law and Economics, and the Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization, among others.
For more on my research interests and output, including a list of current projects, see the Research tab.
