The Oxbridge Society of Hamburg requests the pleasure of your company at The Annual Dinner with our guest of honour, Professor Christoph Trebesch, Kiel, speaking on “Populists in Power”
on Saturday, 18th November 2023 at the Anglo-German Club, Hamburg.

Professor Christoph Trebesch - Guest Speaker 

Christoph Trebesch is head of the Research Center International Finance and Macroeconomics at the Kiel Institute as well as Professor of Macroeconomics at Kiel University. Trebesch works at the intersection of international finance and 
macroeconomics, economic history, and political economy. He has been a consultant and advisor for the IMF, the World Bank, the United Nations, the US Treasury as well as the German Ministry of Finance. His work is regularly cited in leading international media such as the New York Times, The Economist, or the Financial Times. 

A unifying theme of his work is a focus on rare events, meaning events that occur only every few years or decades, but, when they do occur, they have enormous economic consequences. This motivated his research on financial and debt crises, on the rise of extremist and populist political forces, on China’s financial ascent, and, more recently on geopolitics and great power rivalry. In 2022, he founded a new Research Initiative on Geopolitics and Economics at the Kiel Institute and created the widely covered Ukraine Support Tracker. 

We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
