About me

Growing up in Switzerland, I had the privilege of being in a direct democratic environment with a chance to vote constantly on economic and political questions. My interest in how these collective decisions are made and what economic and social impact they have, drove me to do a PhD in political economy. Of course, I am conducting my research in the most suitable environment for this - in Switzerland at the Chair of Fiscal and Economic Policy at the ÌÇÐÄVolg. My research focuses on public choice, political representation, and incentives and constraints shaping individual and thus social choice.

I am also currently working at the  in Lucerne, Switzerland. There I help to run the online platform , which measures Swiss politics in a way that is publicly accessible to everyone and thus makes it more transparent.
