The End of a Great Summer
I have
spent most of the summer in Germany.
And as you know the weather was everything else than great. But even with bad
weather there was lot to do. Most of you do not know me in suit in tie. But I
was dressed like that several times (see link) as I visited two
marriages and as I stayed for four weeks at the Oesterreichische Nationalbank
in Vienna to do
some research.
However,
life was not only serious. I had lots of fun in at the Buergerfest in my home
town Weiden, in Vienna, Budapest
and Stockholm
where I spent my holidays with Marieke.
The Serious Part of Life Has Just Begun
Most of the visitors of this
site should know that I have started to work fort he Institute for World
Economics (IfW) and the Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel on October 1st. My
boss is Professor
Dennis Snower who started at the same time as me as new president of the
IfW. The next couple of years I will try to write a doctoral thesis, hold some
lectures at the university and do a lot of economic research.
My
Research
There will
be soon a link to a working paper about “The Effects of Capital Requirements in
Austria”.
If you are
interested in the role of banks and capital requirements in the monetary
transmission mechanism, just let me know. I wrote my diploma thesis about this
topic.
Concerning
my future research direction you can check the IfW web site.
