We welcome our new colleague Philipp Poyntner who joins us as a postdoctoral researcher after having received his PhD from the WU Vienna in 2023. His research focuses on macroeconomics, specifically unconventional monetary policy, the housing market and inequality. He applies empirical methods using predominantly microdata such as surveys, firm data, bond data and administrative data. Welcome Philipp!
