Lecturer at Trier University

I have been a lecturer at Trier University since 2020, teaching courses to master's students. In addition to delivering lectures, I guide students through the process of developing and executing their theses, offering support, particularly in the empirical aspects of their research.

Employment Contracts (Arbeitskontrakte)

(Lecture & tutorial, German / English, graduate level)

This course examines the concept of asymmetric information, focusing on hidden information and hidden actions. Key topics include screening and signaling, risk sharing, pay-for-performance schemes, monitoring, social preferences, and teamwork. The course emphasizes both theoretical and empirical approaches, analyzing models to derive theoretical predictions. Students also engage with data and empirical academic articles to assess whether the empirical evidence aligns with the theoretical predictions.

To enhance understanding, tutorial sessions complement the lectures. These tutorials provide a platform for students to work through problem sets and deepen their grasp of the models and methodologies introduced in the course.

Research Seminar in Personnel Economics

(English, graduate level)

Students are provided with a dataset on employees in Germany and tasked with analyzing research questions in personnel economics, such as the determinants of job satisfaction. Throughout the course, students engage with the relevant literature to define a clear research question and conduct empirical analysis using the dataset. In the final stage, they write a research paper that summarizes their findings and offers interpretations based on the data. This process encourages students to develop both their analytical and academic writing skills, preparing them for future research endeavors.
