Andreas Wiedemann is an Assistant Professor at Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs. He studies the comparative political economy of advanced democracies with a focus on economic inequality, representation, and political behavior.

Wiedemann's research has appeared in esteemed journals such as the American Journal of Political Science, British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, and the Journal of Politics.
