Dana Hentschel

Year: 2025

Center: Economics

Dana grew up in Hamburg, Germany, and holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Mannheim. She then switched to Applied Economics for her master’s degree at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), where she focused on econometrics. In her master’s thesis she examined a hybrid VAR and ECM approach to recession tracking. During her time in Copenhagen, Dana also worked as a research assistant at CBS in the field of energy economics. Beyond energy economics, she is interested in health and education economics as well as econometric theory. In her free time, Dana reads too much for her own good, goes hiking, and cannot resist to train every dog she lays eyes on.
