I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), Germany. My primary research fields are labour economics, regional economics, and economic development. In my research, I focus on the connection between cognitive skills, job complexity, learning, problem solving and labour productivity.

• Play stupid games, win stupid prizes (with Katharina Hartinger)

• Learning by problem-solving (with Peer Ederer and Ljubica Nedelkoska) [SSRN]

I recently published

• International emigrant selection on occupational skills (with Jens Ruhose, Simon Wiederhold, and Miguel Flores), JEEA 2021 [DOI]
