About

I am an Assistant Professor (tenure track, W1) in Econometrics at the Institute of Finance and Statistics at the Department of Economics at the University of Bonn.

I hold a PhD in econometrics from Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona.

Research

Research interests: I am interested in developing practical econometric methods with a focus on unobserved heterogeneity.

Why should we care? Unobserved heterogeneity is pervasive in economics and business:

• Heterogeneous treatment effects and other parameters
• Explanatory variables not captured by data
• Unobserved “fundamental” characteristics of agents
• Measurement error

Ignoring this heterogeneity in non-experimental settings may lead to crippling bias and invalid inference. Accordingly, we need methods that can handle this issue.
