​"Science is not a boy’s game, it’s not a girl’s game. It’s everyone’s game. It’s about where we are and where we’re going." — Nichelle Nichols​
"Moin" and welcome! I am a researcher and lecturer in finance and economics, with a particular focus on the behavioral foundations of managerial and organizational economics. Currently, I lead the Research Data Centre at the Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH), where I oversee the development and management of data resources that drive innovative economic research.

Bridging the gap between business administration and economics, I use administrative as well as experimental data to examine how cognitive biases, incentive structures, institutional environments, and cultural factors shape decisions in organizations and markets. I am particularly interested in the behavioral aspects of managerial decisions, market-firm interaction, and the design of effective incentive mechanisms.

My research has been published in high-ranking international journals, including the Journal of Banking and Finance, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, and the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization. I am honored to have received a fellowship from the Joachim Herz Stiftung and have served as an auditor for the Society for Experimental Finance (SEF). Additionally, I have worked as a co-principal investigator and scientific advisor on sustainable finance projects for the German Federal Environmental Agency.
