SUMMARY Maren M. Michaelsen is currently an assistant professor at the Department of Economics at Ruhr University Bochum (RUB), Germany, where she obtained her PhD in July 2013, summa cum laude, supervised by Prof. Dr. John P. Haisken-DeNew. In her PhD thesis, she analysed empirically the determinants and outcomes of inequalities in human capital accumulation with a focus on the consequences of violent conflict on individual behaviour, such as labour supply, migration, and psychological well-being. Her research interest lies in the micro-dynamics of conflict, especially the interrelation between economic agents, and psychological and behavioural consequences of life- threats. Previous to her PhD, she studied economics at the University of Birmingham, UK, and University of Duisburg-, Germany. During her studies, she worked as a student assistant and interned at RWI Essen, Germany. She has accumulated extensive teaching experience in the past five years and is a research affiliate of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), the Households in Conflict Network (HiCN) and Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
