Hello!

I am a Labor Economist. In my research I focus on how Labor Market Policies- and Institutions operate in a frictional labor market and how these affect labor market outcomes and inequality. I also work on how workers are affected by job-loss, and search for a new job during unemployment.

I am a Senior Researcher at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB).

Here is my CV!

Please get in touch if you would like to talk about your or my research! simon.trenkle@iab.de
