Stormy-Annika Mildner

Ms. Mildner will be examining and evaluating the procedures and practices of national export credit insurance and international regulatory instruments. She hopes to understand the national subsidy system and to develop ideas on how to prevent the misuse of these systems and an increasing level of subsidies world-wide. Ms. Mildner currently works as an international economics relations specialist at the German Council on Foreign Relations. Her work focuses on international trade and financial relations as well as on the latest developments at the WTO and the IMF. At Yale she anticipates using the libraries, consulting with academic experts and increasing her knowledge of the U.S. political, economic, social and cultural system. She also plans on travelling to Washington D.C. to carry out research at the Library of Congress and to conduct interviews at the Export-Import Bank and the U.S. Congress.
