Christian Keuschnigg (born January 9, 1959 in St. Johann in Tirol ) is an Austrian economist .

Life

Keuschnigg graduated from the Leopold-Franzens-University in 1981 in business administration and completed a postgraduate course at the Institute for Advanced Studies in 1986 . In 1987 he received his doctorate in economics in Innsbruck . In 1997 he became a professor of finance at Saarland University . In 2001 he accepted an appointment at the University of St. Gallen .

From June 1, 2012, he succeeded Bernhard Felderer's director at the Institute for Advanced Studies , and on October 23, 2014, his resignation from this position was announced. From 2015 he will be succeeded by Sigurd Hoellinger. Keuschnigg was criticized, among other things, because he was only in Vienna three days a week because of his teaching assignment in St. Gallen. He will return there full-time after completing his work at the IHS. There was a substantive conflict, however, mainly about his concept for the IHS, which at that time was in financial difficulties, to abolish sociology and political science.

Keuschnigg is chairman of the financial committee of the Verein für Socialpolitik , co-editor of the FinanzArchiv , co-editor of the European Economic Review and a member of several research networks .

In 2015 he founded the Vienna Economic Policy Center (WPZ).
