Vinzenz Peters

Welcome to my website! 

I am a Research Economist at the Institut für Mittelstandsforschung (IfM) Bonn. 

I receveid my PhD in Economics from Maastricht University in May 2025. Please find my thesis here: Economic Resilience to Physical Climate Shocks - The Roles of Financial and Firm Structures 

In my research, I investigate how firms and finance shape the economic resilience, development, and sustainability of regions in the face of shocks, crises, and in particular climate change. As an applied economist, I combine rigorous econometric analysis and strong critical thinking skills with interdisciplinary approaches and perspectives to advance our common knowledge about and our ability to overcome the big challenges of our time.
