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’m employed at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA), and hold a part time position at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). I’m a member of the CRC TR-224 between the Universities Bonn and Mannheim.

Here is my CV!

Please get in touch if you would like to talk about your or my research! trenkle@iza.org
