Clemens GRAF VON LUCKNER

Clemens Graf von Luckner's research revolves around sovereign debt and international finance, seeking to address pertinent questions related to today's policy challenges. Ranging from questions about the social costs caused by sovereign defaults, to the often overlooked role of cryptocurrencies in the facilitation of capital flight during periods of macro financial distress.

Currently a PhD Candidate at Sciences Po and a PhD Fellow at Harvard, Clemens will be joining the Global Capital Allocation Project at Stanford Graduate School of Business as a Postdoctoral Researcher later in 2024. The project is spearheaded by Matteo Maggiori and Jesse Schreger, and Clemens looks forward to pursuing his research on international capital flows, sovereign debt and geoeconomics.
