Frederik Thieme

PhD Candidate in Political Science at DYNAMICS, Research and Teaching Fellow at Humboldt University of Berlin.


Hello 👋

I am a PhD candidate with the DYNAMICS Research Training Group and a Teaching and Research Fellow at the Chair of Comparative Political Behavior in the Department of Social Sciences, Humboldt University of Berlin.

My main methodological interests are quantitative research 📊, causal inference and (field) experimental methods 🔀. In terms of content, I am interested in economic inequality 💸, its causes and consequences, particularly in connection to climate politics 🌍 and people's green attitudes ♻️

If you want to talk about my research, hit me up on X/Twitter or via mail.

You can find my CV here.
