Professor Michael Binder, Ph.D. holds the Chair for International Macroeconomics and Macroeconometrics at Goethe University. He also serves as Founding Dean of the Graduate School of Economics, Finance, and Management (GSEFM) at Goethe University, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and Technische Universität Darmstadt (with Ph.D. Programs in Economics, Finance, and Marketing). As part of his commitment to further opportunities for young researchers in economics and finance, he continues to serve as chairman of the jury of the Young Innovators Award of Vordenker Forum.

Michael Binder’s current research in part examines the implications of globalization for output growth and income inequality, as well as macroeconomic modelling and policy design for emerging market economies. His research also involves the development of novel computational methods for the solution of structural macroeconomic models, and the development of novel econometric methods for estimation and inference for dynamic panel data models.

He also continues to contribute to the "Macroeconomic Model Comparison Initiative" (MMCI) and as part of this to the Macroeconomic Model Database (MMB).
