Thomas Rieger

This is my new professional home until May ☀️ I’m visiting UC Berkeley, hosted by Emmanuel Saez at @ucberkeleyirle.bsky.social, continuing my work on spatial economic inequality.

Thanks for the generous financial support to @diw.de and @daadworldwide.bsky.social!

Why do rustbelts vote radical right? Studying the German Ruhr area, @nilsblossey.bsky.social, @lstoetze.bsky.social and I show: it’s not just about deindustrialization, but also about the original industrialization. Where coal is buried deeper and mining started later, the AfD is stronger today 1/12

It was a pleasure to host Peter in Berlin, and to learn about the IV research frontier firsthand. Thanks, Peter!
