Research Interests

I am a Sociologist interested in applied social and economic research and social policy, mostly working on comparative research on modern welfare states and their social security systems with a focus on social inclusion and poverty. Some of my current and recent work includes:

• the income situation of EU migrants
• work incentives and making work pay
• the distributional impact of tax and benefit systems in African countries
• the use of hypothetical household data for comparative policy learning
