Stefan Pitschner

Stefan´s research focuses on finance, macroeconomics and topics at the intersection of these two fields. Much of his work is data-driven and combines standard econometric methods with more novel approaches such as web-scraping and large-scale text analysis. Stefan mostly use these techniques to measure otherwise difficult-to-observe economic concepts, and to gain insights into the causal linkages that explain the observable behavior of individuals and firms. Furthermore, while he construct and analyze much of his data at the micro/firm level, Stefan often interpret the resulting findings in terms of their aggregate implications.
