Matthias Thiemann is 2025 Scholar in Residence at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies
Matthias Thiemann, Professor of European Public Policy at the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics (CEE), has been selected as the 2025 “Scholar in Residence” at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG). He will spend 3 months (April to June) at the Institute, in Cologne (Germany).
During his stay, he will give a series of 3 lectures (April 29, May 6 and May 13) about shadow banking, a system of credit intermediation outside of the banking regulatory perimeter. Titled Technocrats, State Agency, and the Rise and Continued Expansion of the Shadow Banking System, the lectures will focus on the initial set-up of this system of credit creation after WWII, as well as and on the failure to contain it after the Great Financial Crisis.
Every year, the MPIfG invites a distinguished scholar in the field of political science, economics, or sociology to spend three to six months at the Institute as its Scholar in Residence. Scholars in Residence are known for their outstanding academic achievements and pursue a particular research project that coincides with the research conducted at the MPIfG.
Patrick Le Galès, CNRS Research Professor in Urban Studies at the CEE, was Scholar in Residence in 2013.
