Timur Ergen

I am director of the Institute Labor and Economy (iaw) at the University of Bremen, Germany. My research focuses on comparative social analysis, technological change, and institutions in capitalist societies. I received my PhD from the International Max Planck Research School on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy (IMPRS-SPCE) and was a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) from 2015 to 2025. I am a member of the Executive Council of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-economics (SASE) and co-organize SASE’s Network J: Digital Economy.

My Curriculum Vitae has more detail, if you need it. My book and most of my papers are available on this site as well as information on my courses.
