Right now, Felix Hoch, one of our assistant professors, is at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Economic Sciences. There, he has the opportunity to attend exciting presentations by various Nobel Prize winners, as well as lectures and panel discussions. 💡

Some highlights so far:🌟

• Prominent guests from politics, including José Manuel Barroso and Mario Draghi, discussing their take on ‘Research and Innovation in a Tripolar World’
• Over 20 Nobel Laureates giving their Nobel lectures as the heart of the conference - Some examples include:
  
  • Guido W. Imbens on the past, present, and future challenges of causality in econometrics
  • Simon H. Johnson on technology and inequality in the age of AI
  • Robert J. Aumann on ‘The Evolution of Economic Behavior’ reconciling behavioral economics with the assumption of rationality in classic economics

Some personal highlights from Felix:🌟

• Discussing corporate social responsibility and responsible investing with Oliver D. Hart in an Open Exchange on his ideas of Exit vs. Voice and Citizen Investors
• A forthcoming Science Walk with Steven Chu, Nobel laureate in physics and former US Secretary of Energy in the Obama administration

We hope he continues to have a great time in Lindau and are excited to hear about his impressions when he returns to Münster!
