Theses Supervision:

I also supervise theses for undergraduates (bachelor theses), and graduate students (seminar and master theses). I almost exclusively assign empirical topics closely related to my research interests. Students supervised by me receive (raw or cleaned) data, and are asked to describe this data set and visualize it. Students should state theoretically motivated hypotheses and test these using state-of-the art, empirical methods. If you are interested in any topic close to my research, please feel welcome to reach out to me. Here is a selection of past theses which I supervised:

The Impact of Start-up Financing Announcements on Incumbents 

Start-up Financing: Are Angel and Venture Capital Investors Competition? 

Climate Change Related Natural Disasters and Green Innovation
