Schularick works in macrofinance, financial stability, international economics, and economic history.

He received the Leibniz Prize (2022), Germany's most important research prize, and the Gossen Prize of the German Economic Association (2018). He holds a PhD in Economics (summa cum laude) from the Freie Universität Berlin and an MSc from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
