	“I'm fascinated by the field of public economics as it provides a scientific underpinning for political discussions and everyday debates. A recurring argument suggests that changes in income tax rates lead to significant migration responses. I investigate whether income taxes genuinely influence mobility decisions and whether these decisions have an impact on the real economy.”
