Prof. Dr. Ulrich Glogowsky

Public and Behavioral Economics

Ulrich Glogowsky is an economist with research interests in public and behavioral economics. He is currently studying various forms of inequality, the effects of inheritance taxes, aspects of income taxation, the long-run effects of social policy, online media and polarization, and racial discrimination.

During his stay in Munich, Ulrich Glogowsky plans to dedicate his time to collaborative research, working closely with LMU/CES researchers on several joint projects.

The first project focuses on the evolution of child-related inequality in earnings and the impact of family policies in Germany since the 1960s. This paper, co-authored with Timm Bönke, Emanuel Hansen (LMU), Holger Lüthen, and Dominik Sachs, aims to analyze policy effectiveness over time comprehensively.

The second project investigates the impact of parental benefit reforms on pre-birth earnings. This collaborative effort with Amelie Grosenick (LMU), Emanuel Hansen (LMU), Leonie Koch (LMU), Andreas Peichl (LMU), and Dominik Sachs seeks to understand how recent policy changes affect parental labor supply and economic outcomes before childbirth.

Additionally, Mr. Glogowshy will work on a series of field experiments titled “Online Newspapers, Incentives for Journalists, and Political Polarization.” These experiments, conducted in collaboration with Michael Brottrager, David Huffman, and Matthias Fahn, aim to explore the dynamics between media incentives and political polarization.

Ulrich Glogowsky is a Professor of Economics at JKU Linz, a CESifo Research Network Affiliate, and an Affiliate of the Kurt Rotschild School of Economics and Statistics. He was previously an Assistant Professor at the LMU and Visiting Research Scholar at UC Berkeley.
