Former Ph.D. Students

One of the great things about being a professor is that it gives me a chance to get involved with PhD students. I consider myself very lucky to have been involved with a fantastic group of students both at Stanford and the University of Mannheim. I have been involved in many ways, from teaching second year classes, the regular macro bag lunch we have been running for years, many years as placement director at Mannheim and Director of Graduate Studies. Over the years, I have also advised many students. It is always fun to see students evolve from struggling first years, to taking their first research steps, to becoming successful job market candidates and in some cases co-authors. I have learned a lot from PhD students over the years. A list of all previous Mannheim PhD students can be found here.

Below I am listing those I have worked with more closely. Some as main advisor, others as committee member or more informal advisor. Many continue to do research at various institutions all over the world (from Stanford University to Academia Sinica in Taiwan) others decided to use their economic skills for real world policy-making (for example, at the Mexican Central Bank, the Irish Central Bank or the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau), while others opted for a career in the private sector (from insurance companies to banking). I am very proud of all of them.

Where are they now?
