Our research unit works on a range of issues related to international economic policy, using methods of applied empirical microeconomics and linking macro policies and dynamics with micro data. Among others, we are interested in the effects of (de-)globalization, institutional change and conflict on socio-economic outcomes around the world. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
