Dr. Maj-Britt Sterba

Bio

I am an experimental economist with a focus on political behaviour and inequality research. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Cluster "The Politics of Inequality" at the University of Konstanz. I received my Ph.D at the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods in Bonn and the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena.

Some of my specific research interests include which inequalities people perceive as fair or unfair, how fairness perceptions translate into policy preferences, and the perceptions of political elites. I am also interested in new approaches to combine survey data with quantitative text analysis.
