Research Focus: Her work centers on industrial organization and competition policy through applied microeconomic frameworks, with distinctive applications in automotive markets, peer-to-peer platforms, and health economics. She integrates theoretical modeling with empirical analysis to evaluate policy impacts, particularly examining consumer behavior under regulatory interventions and market distortions. Her methodological approach frequently employs discrete choice models and natural experiments to isolate causal effects in complex market environments.

Publication Trends: Recent output (2015-2024) reveals consistent focus on policy-relevant industrial organization questions. Key themes include tax enforcement mechanisms, electrification dynamics in transportation, stigma barriers in healthcare innovation, credit market distortions from common ownership, and automotive policy analysis during economic crises. Her research demonstrates methodological evolution from discrete choice model comparisons toward integrated theory-empirics frameworks for policy evaluation.

Scientific Recognition: No awards or fellowships were documented in provided sources.

Academic Engagement: While student advising isn't specified, her project leadership in CRC TR 224 indicates active collaborative research participation. Current grant involvement isn't detailed, though automotive policy work suggests potential government or EU funding ties.

Research Infrastructure: As A02 project leader in CRC TR 224, she contributes to this University of Bonn-affiliated collaborative research center focused on economic policy analysis, maintaining dual institutional connections between Mannheim and Bonn.
