Previous projects

In my first position after graduating, I worked as a research associate at [WifOR Institute](https://www.wifor.com/en/startseite-en/). The main projects in my time at WifOR revolved around building models to estimate the societal value of pharmaceutical innovations.

In my master thesis project, I examined whether the introduction of a prospective payment system (DRG) influenced the average lenght of stay in German hospitals. As I had to use state aggregate data (finding funding for data acquisition was difficult for a master thesis), the analysis has several limitations. OVerall, it appears that the DRG introduction did not considerably affect the lenght of stay.
