About
I hold a UBS Foundation Professorship at the University of Zurich and serve as Scientific Director of the UBS Center for Economics in Society. I focus on long-run economic growth, cultural economics, and financial history, including work on Nazi Germany, sovereign debt, and the Industrial Revolution.
My research has been published in the AER, QJE, JPE, RESTUD, PNAS, APSR, Journal of Finance, and other leading journals, as well as three academic books. I am a Fellow of the Econometric Society. I have served as editor or managing editor at the Economic Journal, Explorations in Economic History, and EREH, and as an associate editor at the QJE. My research has been profiled in The Economist, the Financial Times, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, FAZ, NZZ, Le Monde, El Pais, the Guardian, and other major international media outlets.
