Curriculum vitae

"At the Vienna School of International Studies (DA), we pursue a fact and research-driven approach to teaching economics. This implies that lectures cover the discussion of current policy issues and relate them to cutting edge research in the field of the lecturers’ specialisation. The research orientation at the DA ensures that students are encouraged to solve economic problems early on, and helps in the development of career-relevant specialist and personal skills."

Research Interests
Maximilian Böck's research interests are in the field of empirical macroeconomics. His work focuses mostly on monetary and financial economics, macroeconomic expectations, and the identification of empirical macroeconomic models. In order to estimate plausible causal effects, economic scholars rely on identification techniques. It is crucial for policymakers to have reliable estimates of the (macro-)economic consequences of their actions. Other topics cover applications of Bayesian econometrics, international economics, and macro-labor economics.

Teaching
Mr. Böck offers the following course "Introduction to Quantitative Methods" at the Vienna School of International Studies. This class is supported by DataCamp, a learning platform for data science.
