Jan-Niklas Otte
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the Graduate School of Economics and Social Sciences, University of Mannheim, advised by Moritz Kuhn.
My research is in macroeconomics and labor economics.
I am a member of the Macro Inequality Lab, which studies how markets and institutions shape inequality, and how inequality in turn shapes the macroeconomy.
Current Research
