hi, i’m marten

Abstract painting of a young man

I’m an economics graduate, currently interning at the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs in NYC

Topics im interested in:

  • (wealth) inequality
  • development economics
  • the history of economic thought


My focus lies at the intersection of economics and politics, using quantitative methods in R and Python to answer interesting questions (often with a lot of data)

‡ btw, the style of this site is a little inspired by the elegance of the Financial Times — minus the stock tickers

The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
