Dr. Marc Schramm serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics within the Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance at Utrecht University. His academic work spans International Macroeconomics, New Economic Geography, and Economic History, with particular focus on German cities, strategic bombing impacts, and urban development patterns. Based at Adam Smith Hall (Kriekenpitplein 21-22, Room 1.01) in Utrecht, he maintains active research and teaching responsibilities.
His research interests encompass International Macroeconomics, New Economic Geography, Economic History, Urban Economics, and German Economic Development. Schramm has made significant contributions to understanding city growth patterns, particularly examining how institutions and geography influence long-term urban development as seen in his work on Italian cities from 1300-1861. His recent research investigates the impact of real interest rates on green investment and the economic dimensions of China's Belt and Road Initiative.
Schramm's publication record shows a progression from historical economic analysis (bombing effects on Germany, female employment patterns) to contemporary issues (green investment, Belt and Road economics). His work bridges theoretical economic geography with empirical applications, often focusing on European contexts while increasingly incorporating global perspectives. He maintains strong connections between academic research and practical economic policy.
His editorial service for journals like Regional Studies and CESifo demonstrates his standing in the academic community. Schramm has also contributed significantly to economics education in the Netherlands, chairing committees that advise on high school economics curricula and examinations.
In teaching, Schramm has been involved with Macroeconomics courses and has provided expert input on economics education standards for Dutch secondary schools. His work with the College voor Toetsen en Examens (CvTE) shows his commitment to connecting academic economics with practical educational frameworks.
