Teaching and thesis supervision
I have taught undergraduate courses on introductory and advanced macroeconomics,
econometrics and time series analysis at the University of Vienna. I have also taught courses in
Econometrics at the graduate level at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) in Vienna. As a
scientific advisor to the Österreichische Nationalbank I have also taught courses for central
bankers on advanced econometrics, panel data analysis, time series analysis, economic growth
and exchange rate modelling, in some cases in the framework of the IMF’s Joint Vienna Institute. I
have supervised master theses in subjects such as fiscal policy, economic growth, development
economics, monetary economics, international economics and labour economics. I am currently
supervising doctoral theses on time series analysis, transition economies and environmental
economics. Several students whose work I have supervised have been awarded national prizes for
their masters theses.

Research projects and applied research
I am currently a consultant to the World Bank, I have participated in several projects with both
national and international organizations, among them a project aimed at developing an index of
industrial capability for the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the
development of an exchange rate forecasting model for transition economies for the Raiffeisen
Zentralbank (Austria). In 2007 I led a project at the International Institute for Applied System
Analysis (IIASA) on human capital, demography and growth.
