Director: Prof. Dr. Judith Christiane Schneider
Professor of Business Administration with a focus on Insurances and Health Management
Overview
In our research and teaching we deal with risks and financial decisions under uncertainty. We place a particular focus on concepts from behavioral economics to explain individual decisions, for example in choosing insurance and investment products. Moreover, we engage with current challenges in the financial and insurance industry such as sustainability and cyber risks.
Teaching
In our teaching we focus on traditional concepts of insurance and risk management (including Versicherungsbetriebslehre, Versicherungssparten und Geschäftsmodelle, Insurance Risk Management) as well as behavioral economics approaches and up-to-date topics (including Behavioral Insurance, Qualitative and Experimental Methods, Insurance Customer Behavior). We also offer interesting insights into the financial practice in cooperation with the insurance industry (including workshops and guest lectures).
