Welcome!

I am a Researcher at the Institut für Mittelstandsforschung (IfM) Bonn, Germany.

My research interests include Behavioral Economics, Microeconomic Theory, Insurance and Health Economics. My research focuses on applying insights from (Behavioral) Economics to better understand human behavior in markets.

At the IfM Bonn, I conduct research on several topics related to German family businesses, also known as the German "Mittelstand". Recent topics include climate risk perceptions and risk management, the implications of environmental regulations, and the impact of the new sustainability-reporting obligations under EU law.

Apart from this work, I continue my previous research on insurance, in particular, on the importance of alternative motives for insurance purchase. In addition, I investigate the implications of indivisibilities in consumption on people's risk attitudes.
