Felix Schönenberger is an Assistant Professor at the Political Economy of Global Development Lab and the Institute of Economics and Law at the University of Stuttgart. He is an applied microeconomist with a strong research interest in empirical political economy. His research uses quasi-experimental methods to study how representative democracy works. He studies how voters form beliefs and participate in the electoral process, how voter preferences are aggregated by electoral competition, and how electoral institutions ensure democratic accountability of elected politicians.
In the winter term, excellent international scientists visit the University of Hohenheim in the research seminar and give lectures on their research. In addition to attending the lecture, there is often a special opportunity during office hours to exchange ideas with the guest, e.g. about their own research approaches.
Master's students are also welcome to take part in the research seminar and talk to the speakers as well as the doctoral students, postdocs and professors at the institute.
The lecture will take place on November 5, 2025 at 12:00 pm in HS 32.
