  • Eduard Storm has been the Head of the Junior Research Group Skill Demand during Structural Change at IHS since January 2025. He earned a PhD in Economics from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2020. Before joining IHS, Eduard was an Assistant Visiting Professor at Carleton College, Minnesota, US, and a postdoctoral researcher at the RWI - Leibniz Institute for Economic Research, Essen, Germany.

    His research interests focus on labor economics, especially the impact of global megatrends—such as digitalization, ecological transformation, and demographic change—on employment, wages, and skill demand. Eduard combines econometric methods and data science techniques in his research, while employing a wide array of survey, administrative and unstructured data sources. His work aims to generate practical and policy-relevant insights on the challenges and opportunities arising from structural change in modern labor markets.
