The CERDI welcomes Peter Neis this month

Peter Neis 
CERDI, Université Clermont Auvergne

We are pleased to announce that Peter Neis is joining the CERDI this month. He will serve as a Postdoctoral researcher at the Université Clermont Auvergne, CERDI. Peter obtained his Ph.D. in Economics at the Toulouse School of Economics last September. He was a visiting Ph.D. Student at the University of Zurich (UZH) for 9 months in 2022. 

Peter is interested in understanding how judiciaries around the world (with a particular focus on India) influence (economic) development.

Specifically, he is fascinated by questions related to the role of the judicial system in societies. How do formal and informal legal institutions interact? What is the interplay between judicial systems and other branches of government? Can the judicial system fill the void left by inactive legislators on many topics? And how does this impact development?
