His dissertation, titled "Die Agrarfrage in Rumänien", was written under the direction of Johanes Conrad.
In Iași he met Dimitrie Gusti, Virgil Madgearu, and Ion Răducanu [ro]; with the last two he founded the magazine "Independența economică".
In 1918 he returned to work for Banca Românească and for the next three years travelled to Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Transylvania to study the economic and banking issues in those regions.
He was elected a titular member of the Romanian Academy in 1939,[2] and stripped of membership by the new communist regime in 1948.
