New publication in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization

The paper "Outside Employment and Parliamentary Priorities" was published in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization in September 2025. You can access the article via this link. The article was written in collaboration with Niklas Potrafke (ifo Institute) and Timo Wochner (ETH Zurich) and shows that outside employment has a measurable impact on the parliamentary work of MPs: MPs speak more frequently and more positively about industries from which they derive private income, and represent business-friendly positions overall.
