Research interests

My main research interest lies in the field behavioral and experimental economics and finance. More specifically I focus on personnel and organizational economics, behavioral finance, applied game theory, sports economics, decision theory and research on (social) preferences. As one can guess from my broad variety of my areas of interest, I am always searching for fascinating and innovative research questions.
