Oliver Alexy joined TUM School of Management in July 2012 as Professor of Strategic Entrepreneurship. Previously, he held several roles in the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Group at Imperial College Business School in London, England. Oliver's teaching encompasses lectures and seminars on topics such as organizational renewal, business models, open innovation, and entrepreneurial growth. He currently teaches on the undergraduate, graduate, and executive programs at TUM School of Management and furthermore offers courses to students of other departments, such as Informatics. Oliver's research revolves around the design of organizations in general, and of R&D organization in particular, and how this relates to the innovative success and strategic renewal of established companies and the establishment and growth of start-ups. In this context, he particularly focuses on the role of open and distributed innovation processes and networks, topics which are of high interest and relevance to academics and practitioners alike. His research has been published or is forthcoming in leading international academic journals, such as the Academy of Management Review, Journal of Management Studies, Research Policy, and Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, as well as practitioner-oriented outlets such as Harvard Business Review, California Management Review, Sloan Management Review, and McKinsey Quarterly.
Selected current research projects
Origins of organizing: In cooperation with INSEAD and the University of Vienna, we enquire how young firms go about designing their fledgling organizations. The insights we develop will help start-ups organize better, and shed new light on the path-dependent processes by which firms are shaped.
Harnessing External Innovations Project (HEIP): Together with partners from Imperial College and the University of Bath, we seek to understand better how firms can successfully innovate together with agents and entities outside the firm. In doing so, we want to improve our understanding of why, when, and how firms can successfully engage in more open and distributed forms of innovation.

Prof. Dr. Jens Förderer
Professor of Innovation and Digitalization
Email: jens.foerderer@tum.de
Doctoral scholarship, German Research Foundation (DFG)
International Doctoral Fellowship, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
Bronnbacher Scholarship, Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI e.V. (Association of Arts and Culture of the German Economy at the Federation of German Industries e.V.)
Scholarship, Julius Paul Stiegler Memorial Foundation
Jens Förderer's research focuses on the platform economy – one of the key implications of digitization. The concept of a platform is quite simple: A company provides a software platform as the infrastructure on which other companies can develop and commercialize complementary products and services. Platforms are changing the market situation across industries, especially in the fields of mechanical engineering and software development. For companies, they give rise to many new questions: How can companies attract other firms to their own platform? How can innovation be encouraged within the ecosystem? How can companies without platforms protect themselves from similar competitors with platforms? In his research, Jens Förderer investigates different approaches to the management of digital platforms.
Jens Förderer has been Assistant Professor of Innovation and Digitization at TUM School of Management since 2019. He studied Business Informatics (Wirtschaftsinformatik) at the University of Mannheim Business School. Subsequently, he received a doctoral scholarship from the DFG to attend the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences (GESS) at the University of Mannheim, where he completed a graduate program as part of a structured doctoral program. He then worked as a Research Assistant for the Chair of General Management and Information Systems at the University of Mannheim. In the first half of 2016, he carried out research at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, after which he completed his doctorate in Economics (Dr. rer pol.) at the University of Mannheim Business School, where he was appointed Academic Councilor and admitted for habilitation. During this time, he also worked as coordinator of the digitization research alliance between Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the University of Mannheim.

Markets for technology
Patent management
Profiting from innovation
Industrial and Corporate Change, Associate Editor
Research Policy, Advisory Editor
Joachim Henkel joined TUM School of Management in 2004 as a full professor of technology and innovation management. He received a degree in physics from the University of Bonn, a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Mannheim, and his habilitation in innovation management at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. He was a visiting scholar at University College London, MIT Sloan School of Management, and at Harvard Business School, and in 2016 spends a sabbatical at Singapore Management University.
He is regularly invited to give research seminars at international universities and business schools. After his Ph.D., he worked for two years with the consulting firm, Bain & Company. He consults for firms in the ICT industries, in particular on IP litigation matters.
In his research, Joachim Henkel studies how firms balance open and proprietary approaches in their efforts to profit from innovation. Specifically, his topics comprise open innovation, user innovation, markets for technology, modularity, patent management, patent infringements, and profiting from innovation. His work has been published, among others, in Harvard Business Review, Rand Journal of Economics, Research Policy, and Strategic Management Journal. He serves on the editorial review boards of Academy of Management Journal, Industrial and Corporate Change, and Research Policy. Three of his former doctoral and habilitation students hold faculty positions at German universities. Since 2015, Joachim Henkel serves as the TUM School of Management's Dean of Research.
Markets for technology: In joint work with Thomas Rønde (Copenhagen Business School), Dominic Distel, and Jan Paul Stein (both doctoral students at TUM), Joachim Henkel explores markets for technology. Specifically, this research studies the acquisition of young technology firms by incumbents and the stability of the market for IP cores in the semiconductor industry.
Patent validity: What is the probability that a randomly selected patent, if challenged in court, would be invalidated? This question is of high relevance both to patent holders as to potential challengers. Joachim Henkel and Hans Zischka (a former doctoral student at TUM) address it using interviews, a survey, and an econometric analysis of German court decisions.

The Power of Personal: Since the time of the industrial revolution, technology has improved the well-being of both producers and consumers. However, this has come at the cost of a distancing between consumers and producers (and between consumers and production in general). This research program investigates the effects of reducing this distance (e.g., by identifying producers to consumers and vice versa).

Prof. Dr. Christoph Ungemach
Chair: Tenure Track Professorship of Marketing
Email: christoph.ungemach@tum.de
Academy of Management OB Division Making Connections Award, as part of the symposium "Beyond biases: The influence of experience on managerial decision making", (2008).
Christoph Ungemach joined TUM School of Management in November 2016. Prior to that, he was an Associate Research Scientist at Columbia University for 3 years, where he is still a Research Affiliate at the Center for Research on Environmental Decisions. He also worked as a Data Scientist for a technology startup in New York.
Christoph Ungemach holds an advanced degree in Psychology from the Justus Liebig University Giessen and received his PhD at the University of Warwick, where he was awarded a fellowship by the Economic and Social Research Council to conduct his research on decision making under risk and uncertainty. At Warwick he also worked as a postdoctoral researcher for 3 years.
He has also been a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
Christoph Ungemach's research focuses on the behavioural science of decision making. Working on the intersection of Economics and Cognitive Psychology, he seeks to understand the processes driving consumer choice across a variety of domains, including environmental and financial decisions. His current work investigates the application of choice architecture to help consumers making decisions that are better aligned with both their own preferences and society goals.
The findings of his research have been published in leading international journals, including Management Science, Psychological Science and Judgment and Decision Making.
Research areas: Choice Architecture, Consumer Behavior, Judgment and Decision Making, Decisions under Risk and Uncertainty, and Consumer Analytics.
Choice Architecture: In collaboration with scholars at Columbia University and Duke University, Christoph Ungemach is investigating alternative Choice Architecture tools. His research has shown that, unlike traditional nudges, decision signposts can facilitate choices in line with both individual preferences and societal goals. This work has shown to be very useful, particularly in the domain of environmental decision making, and offers important insights for the design of consumer labels.
Another strand of his research is devoted to understanding the cognitive processes underlying decision making under risk and uncertainty. Christoph Ungemach has shown in his research that preferences can be altered by incidental experiences in systematic ways that challenge economic accounts. These findings are in line with decision making models in which subjective values are constructed from comparisons with samples and experiences from our environment or from memory.

Concentrates vs. Powders: We quantify the economic and ecological advantages of sub- stituting powders by concentres in cooperation with TUM's Department of Food Process Engineering and Dairy Technology and two SMEs. While energy for drying is saved at the processing stage, the environmental impact is increased at distribution stage through larger shipment volumes and increased product perishability. For different transportation distan- ces, we identify the optimal dairy products and processing technology.
Modular Helicopters: The product structure to a large extend determines the supply chain structure. We develop a design methodology integrating the product domain and the supply chain domain. In particular, we investigate the implications of modular design on multiple sourcing and on IPR in global production networks.

Gudrun Kiesmüller has been a Full Professor for Operations Management at the TUM School of Management, TUM Campus Heilbronn, Technical University Munich since 2019. She has studied Mathematics at the Julius Maximilians University Würzburg where she also obtained her doctoral degree. Afterwards she joined the Technical University Eindhoven in the Netherlands as a PostDoc and later as an Assistent Professor. At the Christian Albrechts Universität zu Kiel she was appointed as a full professor for Supply Chain Management and at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg for Operations Management.
Her primary research interests are supply chain management, inventory management, and in particular the management of spare parts inventories. Recent projects also included the planning of maintenance processes and the design of manufacturing systems. In her work also optimization approaches are developed for decision support.
Together with different co-authors she has published in leading international journals such as European Journal of Operational Research, IISE Transactions, Production and Operations Management among others.
Impact of Sensor Technology on Repair Kit Planning: We develop a decision support tool, which helps to decide which spare parts a technician should have in his kit when he is visiting customers to repair a failed installed base. In particular, we consider components equipped with sensor technology such that failure diagnosis can take place before the visit of the technician.
Design and Analysis of Manufacturing Systems: To reduce downtimes and increase throughput of advanced technical manufacturing systems, spare parts can be kept in stock. We develop methods such that spare parts and maintenance planning can be integrated in the design of a manufacturing system.

Maximilian Schiffer studied business administration and electrical power engineering at RWTH Aachen University and received his doctoral degree in operations research from RWTH Aachen in 2017. In 2018 he held a postdoctoral position at RWTH Aachen University and a visiting scholar position in the Autonomous Systems Laboratory at Stanford University. Max is an associate member of the GERAD, Canada. In September 2018, Max was appointed as faculty member in the Operations and Supply Chain Management Department of TUM School of Management and in TUM's newly created Center for Energy Markets.Max's research spans across different fi elds of operations research and management. These include a wide range of transportation and logistics topics, e.g., electric vehicles and autonomous systems, but also topics from production planning, supply chain ma-nagement, and data science. In these fi elds, Max develops state-of-the-art algorithms that are suitable for real-world applications.
Autonomous Mobility on Demand Systems: We study the impact of autonomous mobility on demand (AMoD) systems on city logistics and passenger transportation. Herein, we develop mathematical models and algorithms from a system perspective to assess potential benefits but also develop real-time algorithms. Further, we focus on smart grid topics and develop models that consider the interdependencies between an AMoD system and the power network.
Warehouse Operations: The importance of efficiently operating a warehouse became increasingly important in recent years, especially with the rise of e-commerce. We develop the first generic exact algorithms for picker routing in warehouses that can be operated in real-world warehouses of online retailers and show computational times of only a few seconds. Further we develop similar algorithms for robotized warehouses and analyze design aspects in warehouses in general.
Spatio-Temporal Forecasting: We enhance neural networks usually used for pattern recognition to be suitable for spatio-temporal forecasts in every kind if system. Doing so, we succeed in capturing a new information density in modern forecasting techniques.
Value-based Production Planning: We develop value-based end-to-end production planning systems to maximize a companie's profit which is not necessarily correlated with its throughput. Our models and algorithms are applied in practice in the copper industry.

Andreas S. Schulz joined TUM in the summer of 2015 to lead the creation of a new interdisciplinary research center between the Department of Mathematics and the School of Management. He has a joint appointment in both departments and is holder of the Chair for Operations Research. He has been a member of the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) since 1998, most recently as the Patrick J. McGovern Chair of Management and Professor of Mathematics of Operations Research. Earlier he was Head of the Operations Research & Statistics Group at MIT's Sloan School. Prof. Schulz has held visiting research professorships at the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science of ETH Zurich, in the Department of Quantitative Economics at Maastricht University, in the Department of Mathematics of TU Munich, at the Mathematics Department of TU Berlin, and at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. He obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Technische Universität Berlin in 1996. In 2014, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation bestowed the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship upon him. Previously, he had already received the Humboldt Research Award in recognition of his lifetime achievements. In the year 2000, the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities had named him one of 20 founding members of "Die Junge Akademie." Other honors include the Best Paper Award of the Transportation Science & Logistics Society of INFORMS, the Glover-Klingman Prize, the Carl-Ramsauer-Prize, and awards for excellence in teaching. Prof. Schulz has been on the editorial boards of several scientific journals, including ACM Transactions on Algorithms, Discrete Optimization, INFORMS Journal on Computing, Journal of Scheduling, and Operations Research.
In an attempt to provide answers to a number of longstanding open questions in inventory theory, Prof. Schulz and his group are using new complexity-theoretic insights to link optimization problems such as finding optimal ordering points with the vulnerability of public-key cryptosystems. In essence, they show that the security of public-key cryptography hinges on the elusiveness of efficient methods for solving various problems in inventory management optimally.
In collaboration with various health-care providers the group of Prof. Schulz is designing new appointment-scheduling systems for medical facilities with the goal to achieve better tradeoffs between the utilization of expensive personnel and medical equipment and the quality of service experienced by their patients. They are primarily interested in mathematical models that lend themselves to solutions that are near optimal, yet easy to use in practice.

The real effects of mandatory quarterly reporting with M. Stich, O. Vogler and B. Link): This project examines how mandatory quarterly reporting affects firms' business decisions in terms of real activities manipulations. Our preliminary findings indicate a significant increase in real activities manipulation after an increase in reporting frequency. This finding points to greater managerial short-termism resulting from increased reporting frequency requirements.
Determinants and consequences of audit quality (with C. Koch, B. Downar, M. Prott, E. Wühst, M. Bartkowiak): In this larger project we investigate how (i) research acitivities of auditors, (ii) compensation policies of audit firms, (iii) selection strategies for individual auditors influence audit quality and how individual auditors' performance influences (i) their career, and (ii) their client portfolio.

Best Paper Award, Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI), with Tobias berg, 2016
Corporate Finance, Editorial Board Member
Christoph Kaserer is a full professor of finance at Technische Universität München (TUM).
His area of expertise is empirical capital market research, corporate finance, financial market regulation, and asset management. He is also active as an expert for the German Government as well as for public and private institutions. Christoph is also regularly invited to parliamentary hearings as an expert witness.
Before joining TUM, he became Full Professor of Financial Management and Accounting at Université de Fribourg, Switzerland, in 1999. From 2005 to 2010 he was the Dean of TUM School of Management. Christoph earned a degree in economics from University of Vienna. He holds a Ph.D. in Finance from University of Würzburg.
Implied Cost of Capital: There is a new strand of literature who aims at extracting the expected return of stocks (and other asset classes) from current market prices. In a large research project the institute is working on refinements of this methodology as well as on extending into new fields of application. For instance, the method can be applied to improve traditional asset pricing models (as the Fama-French-Model), overcome shortcomings of the Markowitz-Model of portfolio selection as well as improving the understanding of corporate financial decisions.
Liquidity Costs: The impact of liquidity cost on asset pricing is a long-studied subject. However, due to data limitations many relevant questions are yet unanswered. The institute is working with a pretty unique dataset offered by Deutsche Börse (XLM), which can be used to study the impact of liquidity costs in a more detailed manner. Recent research projects have addressed issues like the impact of algorithmic trading on liquidity, liquidity provision by mutual funds or flight to liquidity in stressed markets.

Spectacular cases such as the LIBOR scam or the Porsche/VW takeover have raised questions of overlaps of anticompetitive or abusive conduct and securities regulation. Policymakers have not addressed this issue yet. What are the implications for the design of the overlapping rules, their enforcement, and market conduct supervision in general?
The finance industry is facing enormous challenges caused by digitisation. Algorithms give financial advice to clients and make independent investments decisions. The traditional toolbox for regulation of intermediaries needs to be adjusted, for example in relation to avoiding and disclosing conflicts of interest, and in particular concerning liability for bad investment decisions.

Another branch of research focusses on structural change in European energy markets, dealing with modelling of energy prices, questions of market efficiency, policy design, technical and commercial feasibility of new technologies, and new business models in the energy sector.
David Wozabal obtained a PhD in statistics and a MSc in Mathematics and Business Informatics from the University of Vienna. He worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Vienna, the Vienna University of Economics and Business and as a visiting professor at TUM School of Management. David Wozabal joined TUM School of Management as Assistant Professor in February 2014.
How Do Contract Parameters Influence the Economics of Vehicle-to-Grid?: By pooling electric vehicles (EVs) and their batteries, aggregators are able to provide services to the grid. We study how the parameters that shape the agreement between aggregators and EV owners, influence the profitability of vehicle pools.
Optimal gas storage valuation and futures trading in incomplete markets: We model the problem of optimal gas storage valuation in incomplete markets as a Markov decision process. We express risk preferences by the nested Conditional Value-at-Risk and solve the problem by approximate dual dynamic programming using discrete scenario lattices as representations of random future prices. As opposed to policies investigated in the extant literature, our solutions outperform the rolling intrinsic heuristic in-sample as well as out-of-sample.

Economics of science
Hanna Hottenrott joined TUM School of Management in May 2016. Prior to that, she held an assistant professorship at the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (DICE) of the University of Düsseldorf. Hanna Hottenrott holds an advanced degree in economics from the University of Heidelberg and obtained a PhD in applied economics from KU Leuven (Belgium) in 2010. At KU Leuven she was affiliated with the Department of Managerial Economics, Strategy and Innovation and worked on topics related to the financing of research and development (R&D) in the business sector. After graduating, she was awarded a fellowship from the Flemish Science Foundation (FWO) and investigated questions in the fields of innovation and science policy.
In her research, Hanna Hottenrott studies innovation activities in the public and the private sector. Her research relates to the broader fields of industrial economics and applied micro-econometrics. More precisely, she works on questions in the fields of economics of innovation, economics of science and public innovation policy. Her work addresses private sector companies, innovation policy agents and provides implications for the design and governance of public innovation and technology policy.
Her work has been published, among others, in the Review of Economics and Statistics, Research Policy, Journal of Economics and Management Strategy, Cambridge Journal of Economics, Studies in Higher Education, Industrial and Corporate Change, Resource and Energy Economics, Economics of Innovation and New Technology, Journal of Regional Science, Small Business Economics and the Journal of Product Innovation Management.
Resources, Research Assessment, and Institutional Affiliations in Academia is an international and DFG-funded (HO5390/1-1) research project that explores institutional networks, motivations and research outcomes of scientists in Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom. It documents recent developments in institutional affiliation patterns in different scientific fields and find that multiple institutional affiliations and high impact research are highly correlated.
Direct and Cross-Scheme Effects in a Research and Development Subsidy Program studies a specific R&D policy design directed at private sector companies that explicitly distinguishes between research projects, development projects, and mixed R&D projects. Findings show that while publicly financed research grants increase firms' research spending, development grants do not trigger additional product or process development investments. However, there are cross effects from development grants on research expenditures indicating that R&D subsidies are most effective at earlier stages of the R&D process.

Identity Utility
Michael Kurschilgen Kurschilgen works at the intersection of Economics, Social Psychology, and Law. His research aims at understanding how certain social norms evolve, what influences their stability, and how those norms correspond with the preferences and expectations of the individual agents. Kurschilgen is particularly interested in understanding normativity, i.e. consensual social judgments of "right" and "wrong" behavior. He studies those questions particularly by means of controlled laboratory experiments.
Kurschilgen studied Economics at the Universities of Bonn and Maastricht, as well as at SciencesPo Paris (2002-2007). After a stint as a consultant for large mining and engineering projects in India and Kazakhstan, he enrolled as a PhD student at the International Max Planck Research School "Uncertainty", graduating in 2013 from the University of Jena. Kurschilgen continued his scientific career as a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods in Bonn. He has been a visiting researcher the University of California Berkeley, the European University Institute Florence, and the University of Bologna. In November 2015 Kurschilgen was named Assistant Professor of Managerial Economics at the TUM School of Management.
Inequality as Coordination Device studies the circumstances under which groups of individuals manage to coordinate on an objectively better yet more sophisticated social norm that reconciles efficiency with equality. We show experimentally that normative innovation is only attempted when inequality from simple coordination is substantial and the time horizon sufficiently long..
The Jurisdiction of the Man Within tests the effect of introspection on people's willingness to cooperate in a public good game. Our results show that introspection causally increases cooperation. Both home-grown idealism and the experiences with the cooperativeness of the environment predict individual cooperativeness throughout the game.

Academic Knowledge Cultures in Transformation
This research focus explores how contemporary governance practices in science policy and science management (e.g. evaluation processes, career norms, funding structures) affect work and knowledge cultures within academic institutions. This type of research, which explores how the structures that support science also shape science, offers a vital basis for a reflexive type of science governance that proactively engages with its outcomes and and reflexively adapts its strategies to address unintended effects.
Emergent Knowledge Cultures in the Life Sciences
This research focus explores how novel research ideas unfold within the institutional frameworks of contemporary academia and its societal contexts. Based on my own interdisciplinary background, which includes an M.Sc. degree in Molecular Biology, my work focuses specifically on the life sciences and traces the epistemic, social and political dynamics emerging with new forms of life science knowledge and biotechnology. Current research focuses on environmental epigenetics, a research field that explores gene-environment interactions; novel genome editing technologies such as CRISPRCas9; and issues in environmental toxicology, such as microplastics. My projects seek to examine what responsible research and innovation could mean in each situated context, and in relation to and collaboration with the specific stakeholders in each case.
Gender, Diversity and Social Justice
Across all research activities, my work examines how the research is affected by and affects questions of social and environmental justice. I understand categories of social stratification, such as gender, race, ethnicity and class, as deeply intersectional, that is they emerge and need to be studied in relation to each other.
Ongoing research projects at my professorship are currently funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the Bavarian Research Foundation (Bayerische Forschungsstiftung), the EU Horizon 2020 program and the TUM Gender & Diversity Incentive Fund.

Sebastian Schwenen joined TUM School of Management as Assistant Professor in September 2015.
Pricing and Capacity Provision in Electricity Markets – An Experimental Study: We study experimentally the impact of different market designs on investment and pricing behaviour in electricity markets. Experimental subjects invest in generation capacity and subsequently compete in prices to sell power. Motivated by varying market designs currently implemented in US and European markets, we apply different design treatments to the experiment to identify their impact on producers' pricing and investment strategies.
Renewable Energy and the Pricing of Electricity Futures: We analyse how forward contracting of electricity can mitigate risks in production costs introduced by renewable energy. Specifically, we investigate theoretically and empirically how massive market entry of fluctuating renewable energy sources such as wind and solar PV – and the resulting risk from shocks to production costs – changes incentives to sell power on forward markets and influences risk premia.

Development of forest owners and private forest owner associations: Structural transformation in Germany's rural areas leads to drastic changes with regard to the use of forests by forest owners that potentially cause supply bottlenecks of the woodworking industry. The scientific focus lies on studying the impact of structural and communicative measures in this context.
Perception of forests and forestry and the influence on forest management: The alienation of people from production and the related decline of its acceptance leads to increasing restraints concerning the utilisation of woods in Germany's forests. The emphasis of research in this focus area is on the perception of forests and their relevance in public.
Analysis of Discourses about forests: Discourse analysis is used to study the influence of political actors on the perception of forests, legal frameworks and media coverage.

Behavioral & Experimental Economics
Sustainable Cooperation
Sebastian J. Goerg is a Behavioral and Experimental Economist who investigates how incentives, information, and (legal) institutions influence actual human behavior. Together with his co-authors from the social and natural sciences he pursues an interdisciplinary research agenda.
Prof. Goerg studied Economics at the University of Bonn where he also obtained his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Reinhard Selten. Between 2009 and 2012 he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods. After research stays at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Michigan, he joined the Florida State University in 2012 as an Assistant Professor. There he was granted tenure in early 2018. In 2018, Prof Goerg joined TUM as an Associate Professor and holds the Chair of Economics at the TUMCS for Biotechnology and Sustainability. Prof. Goerg is Research Fellow at the IZA – Institute for Labor Economics und Research Affiliate at the MPI for Research on Collective Goods.
His work has been published, among others, in the European Economic Review, Experimental Economics, Games and Economic Behavior Management Science, Journal of Labor Economics, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and The American Economic Review.
Self-chosen goals, incentives, and effort investigates the interplay between self-chosen work goals and monetary incentives, and its effects on work performance. We observe that the use of personal work goals leads to a significant output increase. Strikingly, the positive effect of self-chosen goals can persist even without performance-contingent monetary incentives. However, then the impact of self-chosen goals depends on the exact size of the goals and the difficulty of the task. Our results suggest that work contracts where workers set goals themselves can help to improve performances; even in the absence of explicit monetary incentives.
Rule Violations and Spillovers investigates how the exposure to rule violations leads to the spreading of rule violations across different domains. We provide causal evidence, that spillover effects exist and that their occurrence is more likely if the underlying decision situations are similar. In addition, through self-contamination, rule violations can spread into even seemingly unrelated situations. Lastly, we demonstrate spillover effects in a field experiment and show that they can lead to adverse behavior at the workplace with actual economic costs.
