Contents

Schularick previously was Professor of Economics at Sciences Po Paris and the University of Bonn. He works in the fields of macrofinance, banking and financial stability, as well as international finance, political economy, and economic history. [1]

Early life and education

Schularick studied at the University of Paris-VII from 1996 and received the Maîtrise there in 1998. He then transferred to the London School of Economics on a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship, where he received an M.Sc. in 1999. He completed a third degree (M.A.) at the Humboldt University of Berlin in 2000. [2]

Career

From 1999, Schularick briefly worked at Deutsche Bank. [3] In 2005, he received his Ph.D. at Free University of Berlin, where he also taught as an assistant professor from 2007 to 2012. In 2008/09, he went to University of Cambridge as a visiting professor, and in 2011/2012 to the New York University Stern School of Business.

From 2012 to 2023, Schularick taught and conducted research at the University of Bonn as a W3 professor of macroeconomics. [2] In the 2015/16 academic year, he held the Alfred Grosser chair at the Institut d'études politiques (Sciences Po) in Paris. [4] Since 2021, in addition to his professorship at the University of Bonn, he was also Professor of Economics at Sciences Po. [5]

In 2018, Schularick was elected to the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. [6]

In 2025, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Katherina Reiche appointed Schularick as one of four external advisors – alongside René Obermann, Nico Lange and Jürgen-Joachim von Sandrart – on Germany's defence industry. [7]

Research

Schularick's research focuses on monetary macroeconomics, international economics and economic history. His work on credit cycles, asset prices, and financial stability has formed the background for the so-called macroprudential policy aimed at curbing credit boom. [8] His studies on the causes of financial crises and the transformation of the financial system are among the most internationally cited macroeconomic papers of the last decade. [9]

In 2012, Schularick received a Schumpeter Fellowship from the Volkswagen Foundation to study the financial side of globalization, what he calls financialization. [10]

Schularick's work on China-America economic relations, the causes of populism, and returns on various asset classes has also attracted considerable interest among experts and in the media. Together with Niall Ferguson, he is credited with having coined the term Chimerica, a neologism to describe the integrated nature of the Sino-American economic relationship. [11]

Named articles by Schularick have appeared in The New York Times, the Financial Times, and the Süddeutsche Zeitung, among others. [12]
