Teaching
I love to teach, try to keep teaching interactive, and always bring my current research into teaching – e.g. by implementing experiments in class and discussing recent research results.
I taught at the Universities of Innsbruck, Krems and Vienna (all Austria), Hohenheim (Germany), Yale University (USA), Chulalongkorn University and Ramkamhaeng University (both Thailand), Vietnam National University, and Gadjah Mada University (Indonesia).
Courses were in English and German at all levels (BA, MA and PhD) and comprised up to 750 students (in the largest lecture), with usual class sizes being 30 students in seminars. Topics were Empirical Finance, Corporate Finance, International Finance, Behavioral and Experimental Finance, Market Efficiency, Academic Writing and Corporate Decision Making.
