Timur Ergen is a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG). Ergen is a social scientist with a primary research interest in the interactions between economic, social, and technological change.
While at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Ergen will investigate how the problems of deindustrialization have been represented in different societies across the Atlantic. His research will demonstrate how the debates in Germany and the United States diverged beginning in the late 1960s and track these diverging trajectories through four policy-fields – antitrust, fiscal policy, industrial policy, and trade – to show that ideational changes conditioned institutional changes.
