LMU Profile

Mission Statement

I am professor for Finance and Banking at the Munich School of Management.

I consider data transparency and replicability of scientific studies as key elements of good scientific research practices. Therefore, jointly with the ifo Institute, we have established an IT infrastructure (https://www.ifo.de/en/reseach/lmu-ifo-economics-business-data-center) at LMU’s Economics and Business Data Center (EBDC) which allows interested researchers on-site access to stored data for replication purposes. The structure also allows data to be anonymized (if necessary).
