He focuses on the emergence and diffusion of new technologies, their impact on the sustainable economic use of energy and natural resources, and the role of institutional framework conditions and policies in these processes.
In this context, he mainly uses quantitative empirical methods with a focus on recent approaches in statistics and econometrics (e.g., in panel data econometrics, spatial econometrics, network analysis) and draws on various datasets (e.g., patent data, press releases, research funding data, German core energy market data register, regional statistics). For his empirical analyses, he uses several different software and programming languages (in particular Stata, Matlab, R).
