Dr. Karolin Kirschenmann is deputy head of ZEW's Research Unit “Pensions and Sustainable Financial Markets”. Her research focuses on the areas of banking and (global) financial intermediation.

Her latest research is concerned with the role of banks in the transformation to a net-zero economy. Her research has been published in renowned journals such as the Review of Finance, the Journal of Financial Intermediation, and the Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking.
