Teaching

I teach across all levels — bachelor's, master's, executive education, and PhD — on taxes, financial accounting, and empirical research, including AI-driven methodologies. On this page I share updates on my teaching approaches and events, and make selected materials available to my students and the wider public.

Teaching approaches

Bringing social media into the lecture hall

In fall 2026 I am co-teaching Unternehmensbesteuerung (Corporate Taxation) with Christoph Spengel for about 400 business students at the University of Mannheim. Young people increasingly learn economics from social media, not traditional media — so instead of lecturing about it, we bring real social-media takes on taxes into the classroom and examine, discuss, and analyze them together. We are inviting students and the wider community to submit examples.
