Ökonomie und Angewandte Ökonometrie (Schmidheiny)

Our group focuses on the application of microeconometric methods to policy relevant questions. Our research emphasis lies on tax competition, fiscal federalism, and urban economics. More broadly, we study questions in a variety of fields, including public economics, labor economics, international economics, and demography. For many of our research projects, we draw on big administrative data from Switzerland and abroad.
