Doctorate in Economics (Dr.rer.pol.) from the Dresden University of Technology in Germany; Scholarship of the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD
Doctoral thesis deals with the informal “rules of the game” or so-called informal institutions which canalize actions of decision makers: e.g. mindsets and mental models such as the mindset of hard budget constraint, risk attitude, paying habit etc. By forming incentive structures and determining individual choices, (informal) institutions have a great impact on the allocation of resources, thus on economic and management performance.
