This is my new professional home until May ☀️ I’m visiting UC Berkeley, hosted by Emmanuel Saez at @ucberkeleyirle.bsky.social, continuing my work on spatial economic inequality. Thanks for the generous financial support to @diw.de and @daadworldwide.bsky.social!

Studying the German Ruhr area, @nilsblossey.bsky.social, @lstoetze.bsky.social and I show: it’s not just about deindustrialization, but also about the original industrialization.
