Stefan Homburg

He was the director of the Institute of Public Finance at the University of Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany until his early retirement in 2021.

Other publications address topics in monetary policy, social security, tax law, and business taxation.

[1] In 2020 Homburg voiced criticism of the German government's response to COVID-19 on Twitter, YouTube, and in opinion pieces for the newspaper Die Welt.

[5] Homburg has repeatedly compared the German government's COVID-19 containment measures to fascism and the rise of the Nazis in 1933, which sparked public criticism.

[2] The University of Hannover called this comparison "intolerable" and distanced itself from Homburg,[6] leading up to his early retirement in 2021.
