Bio
Bio
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Political Economy of Public Policy (Vienna University of Economics and Business). My current research examines how materialised or perceived risks from international contexts lead to costly consequences or government intervention in industrialised democracies. Specifically, I explore how refugee migration impacts fiscal outcomes and public goods provision, and why governments restrict international economic relations under the guise of environmental protection. My work has been published in political research journals such as the Journal of European Public Policy and the British Journal of Political Science as well as interdisciplinary outlets such as Global Environmental Change and Nature Sustainability.
