About me

I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Vienna, Austria. My primary research interest is in the political economy of conflict. More precisely, I am interested in the determinants of identification, both social and political, and consequences of such attitudes on voting behavior. I mainly study these questions using historical data. I am convinced that sufficient knowledge of historical events can help identify quasi-natural experiments. These events can then be exploited to answer a broad range of questions that are policy relevant nowadays.
