As of October 1, 2023, Dr. Linda Glawe has been newly appointed as a junior professor at Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC). She will be heading the Junior Professorship of Economics - Empirical Economic Research at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration in the future.
About the person: Jun.-Prof. Dr. Linda Glawe
Linda Glawe graduated from the FernUniversität in Hagen with both a Bachelor and Master of Science in "Economics". She graduated with honors from her master's program in 2016.
She then began her research at the Center for East Asia Macroeconomic Studies (CEAMeS) in Hagen and took a position as a research assistant at the Chair of Macroeconomics at the FernUniversität. She also taught at the Hagen Institute for Management Studies and is a lecturer at Nagoya University (Japan).
In 2019, Linda Glawe completed her PhD with a dissertation on "Growth Slowdowns in Emerging Market Economies: The Concept of the Middle-Income Trap – With a Special Focus on the Chinese Economy” with the distinction "summa cum laude". She successfully secured third-party funding from the Asian Development Bank Institute for her research on the middle-income trap.
In 2022, she moved to the Chair of Economic Policy at the FernUniversität in Hagen, before accepting an appointment at TUC. She had already taught as a lecturer here in the summer semester of 2023.
Her work has been published in leading international journals - including World Development, Journal of Comparative Economics, China Economic Review, Open Economies Review, Asian Economic Papers, and Comparative Economic Studies.
Her research interests are diverse and encompass areas including development economics, macroeconomics, and institutional economics.
She is particularly interested in institutional convergence processes in the EU and the influence of institutional quality and human capital on economic growth, as well as their interactions. Additionally, Linda Glawe is currently researching potential non-linearities in the inflation-inequality relationship.
Besides global empirical studies, she focuses especially on the European Union and the Chinese economy. Many of her projects have interfaces with other disciplines, particularly political science.
Since 2020, Linda Glawe has been the co-head of the Quantitative Regional and Computational Science (QuaRCS) Network. The "QuaRCS" Network is a research and learning platform for researchers from universities and government organizations, focusing on regional inequality as well as economic and social convergence. Moreover, she has been researching at the Center for European Integration Studies (CEIS) since 2021.
