She concurrently serves as Research Director at the iff Hamburg (Institute for Financial Services) and is a Fellow at DIW Berlin (German Institute for Economic Research).

Research Focus

Neuberger's research examines critical financial systems through macro/microeconomic lenses:

• Causes of financial crises and sustainable system design
• Banking market structures and industrial organization
• Consumer protection policies and credit market risks
• Socioeconomic dimensions including financial inclusion and wealth inequality

Her approach combines empirical data analysis with policy-oriented solutions.

Recent Professional Engagement

She continues to advocate for financial reform through Finanzwende, challenging industry lobbying and promoting systemic stability.
