Ulf Rinne joined IZA in 2005. He studied economics in Bonn and Lisbon, and he received his doctorate from the Freie Universität Berlin in 2009.

His research interests span several areas of empirical labor economics and applied microeconometrics. He focuses in particular on the evaluation of labor policies (such as training programs for the unemployed or integration measures for refugees), migration policy (for example, in the context of immigration law), instruments to reduce discrimination (such as anonymous job applications), and the labor-market impacts of technological change and digitalization (such as new forms of employment and the gig economy).
