Current projects

The interplay of work and family life - interaction between professional characteristics, domestic division of labor and family well-being
Duration: 01.10.2021 to 30.11.2028

The post-doctoral position focuses on the empirical analysis of the intersection of work and family life. The main focus will be on the effects of occupational characteristics (e.g. occupational demands, occupational overlaps in couples) on the well-being of household members as well as the individual and occupational determinants of domestic division of labor. A particular focus here is on the consideration of paternal involvement.

Pro-social behavior in East and West Germany
Duration: 01.09.2021 to 13.12.2027

The project deals with the question of whether behavioral differences between East and West Germany are still as pronounced more than 30 years after reunification as they were shortly afterwards. This is to be investigated with the help of behavioral experiments in the innovation sample of the Socio-Economic Panel. To this end, an application for third-party funding was prepared and submitted to the DFG in order to acquire the personnel and material resources for this project. As part of the preparations, a pilot study was also carried out to investigate differences in reported behavior. The results are summarized in a working paper, which will be submitted for review and publication.

Decision-making in healthcare
Duration: 01.10.2023 to 30.06.2027

The dissertation will examine the decision-making behavior of actors in the healthcare system. In particular, the effects on the doctor-patient relationship, health outcomes and economic implications will be examined. The focus will be on behavior-based economic analysis.

Leibniz ScienceCampus "Challenges in Healthcare" Head of the project The role of online-medical service provision
Duration: 01.07.2020 to 31.12.2026

Nowadays, patients in many countries can contact doctors not only in person, but also via video chat or questionnaires. In recent years, and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine methods have become more important than ever in medical care. While these new forms of treatment can improve the accessibility of doctors for immobile patients or for patients in sparsely populated regions, they can also affect the doctor-patient relationship and treatment outcomes. However, very little is known about the impact of telemedicine methods on the quality of healthcare.
In this project, we want to systematically investigate how telemedicine methods influence behavior and treatment outcomes in the doctor-patient relationship. The studies conducted in this project are based on controlled laboratory experiments. In recent years, health economics research has begun to use these types of experiments to test the behavioral effects of various features of the physician-patient decision environment. In the laboratory, ceteris paribus changes in parameters can be made and their effects on individual behavior directly observed. External aspects such as patient or physician characteristics can be isolated, and if the behavior changes, this variation can be attributed to the changed parameter (e.g. the type of online interaction).
In the first of the three subprojects, we initially focus on physicians and isolate the effects that certain online characteristics have on their communication and treatment decisions. In the second subproject, the focus shifts to patients, allowing us to investigate questions that relate directly to patients' reactions to specific online tools. In the third sub-project, the focus is more on the interaction between doctors and patients. Our results should not only provide insights into the design of effective telemedicine tools, but also enrich theoretical research on doctor-patient relationships.

Completed projects

Chair of Behavioral Social Policy
Duration: 01.12.2020 to 30.11.2025

The research focus of the chair is in the areas of social policy - especially the analysis of health economic issues and their close connection to other areas of social policy - and economic behavioral research. Characteristic for these research directions is the close combination of micro-theoretical methods (e.g. game theory and behavioral economic theories) with quantitative-empirical methods.

In teaching, the team of the chair contributes mainly to the newly established interdisciplinary program Economics and Society (B. Sc.) and the program Economics Policy Analysis (M. Sc.) and complements the training in the areas of social policy, behavioral economics and experimental economics. The courses offered by the department are designed to qualify students for behavioral economic analysis and social policy design.

How buyers get better and/or cheaper products through an optimal selection mechanism for product tests
Duration: 01.09.2022 to 30.04.2025

The project deals with how buyers obtain better and/or cheaper products through an optimal selection mechanism for product testing. In particular, it will investigate whether a new selection mechanism called SellersMayApply ensures that better and/or cheaper products are offered, tested and purchased. The focus will be on game-theoretical and experimental analysis.
