Hello,

I am an economist and research officer at the London School of Economics International Inequalities Institute interested in inequality, economic policy, and the financial wellbeing of households and individuals. Previously, I worked on these issues at the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at the CUNY Graduate Center and the OECD. While obtaining my PhD from the Vienna University of Economics and Business Department of Economics, I worked as a research associate at the Research Institute Economics of Inequality.

My current research focuses on savings behaviour and the measurement of private wealth (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. Moreover, I study perceptions of wealth inequality and policies to address it.

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.
