About Me

I am an Associate Professor of Managerial Accounting at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.

My research focuses on incentives.I study the impact of various types of incentives within organizations—both explicit and implicit, monetary and non-monetary—on employee behavior. Within this context, my research also delves into performance measurement and the provision of information.

To examine causal effects and precisely identify mechanisms, I primarily use field experiments in firms. Often, I complement this with laboratory experiments, online experiments on MTurk or Prolific, survey data, or archival data.

My work has been published, for instance, in the Journal of Accounting Research, Management Science, The Accounting Review, The Journal of Labor Economics, and Harvard Business Review. I am currently ranked 2nd among German-speaking business researchers under 40, based on A+ publications. 

Additionally, I serve as an Associate Editor at Accounting Open and as a member of the Editorial Board of Management Accounting Research. 

My work also receives attention in the public media with publications in, for instance, the Economist, Financial Times, Harvard Business Review, FAZ, Die Welt, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, Capital, and Harvard Business Manager. You can read my latest feature in Wirtschaftswoche here and an interview with Der Spiegel here.
