Svenja FLECHTNER

WELCOME TO MY ACADEMIC WEBSITE!

I am an economist at the University of Siegen, Germany. I work as an assistant professor in the MA program Pluralist Economics. Here is my university website, and this is the website of the Master Program in Pluralist Economics at Siegen (in German).

My research focuses on questions of economic and social development in the context of socio-economic inequalities. In particular, I have been working on behavioral development economics. My current projects focus on inequalities of income and wealth and implications for socio-ecological trade-offs.

I am also interested in interdisciplinary research and the philosophy and practice of pluralism in economics.

I have taught a range of courses in economics and interdisciplinary area studies in Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Europa-Universität Flensburg, Freie Universität Berlin, the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, and the University of Siegen.

I teach courses on economic growth, development and distribution, behavioural economics, international political economy and philosophy of economics.
