Karsten Müller is an Assistant Professor of Finance at the National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School. His research focuses on intersections of finance, macroeconomics, and political economy, with emphasis on credit allocation mechanisms, social media's societal impact, and regulatory policy effects. Before joining NUS in 2022, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University and earned his Ph.D. in Business and Management from the University of Warwick in 2018.

Recent publications examine content moderation effects (Germany's NetzDG), systemic bank runs across centuries, and the relationship between social media adoption and hate crimes. Notable contributions include the Global Macro Database for international economic analysis and studies on electoral cycles in macroprudential policy.
