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 University of Fribourg. 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 Institute for Swiss Economic Policy (IWP) in Lucerne, Switzerland. There I help to run the online platform Parlameter, which measures Swiss politics in a way that is publicly accessible to everyone and thus makes it more transparent.
