It brings us great pleasure to share that our own, Moritz Schularick, has been awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize of 2022 by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The Leibniz Prize for Moritz Schularick
honors his outstanding research achievements in the field of economics.
This applies in particular to the reconnection of macroeconomics with
economic history and its insights into the causes of financial crises
and the historical development of the wealth distribution. He has
provided a more fundamental understanding of crisis dynamics that can
help anticipate and mitigate future financial crises. More recently,
Schularick has focused on the causes of social inequality. Overall, his
work has contributed significantly to a better understanding of current
economic problems and is taken up in many economic and social policy
debates.
