Industry partner collaboration

As part of my mission to enhance the collaboration between academia and industry, I regularly work with industry partners to put data into a broader context and generate new academic insights. I have cooperated with different organizations in the past, e.g. on a joint study with the Association of German Banks (in German), or projects on the global financial crisis and credit markets with the German Savings Banks Association (DSGV). The most recent project is the safeFBDC and more than 15 industry partners.

If you are an industry partner looking to collaborate, please use the form below with a brief description of your idea and any relevant timeline information.

media requests

For members of the media, I have served as an expert source and have provided informed commentary on current topics in banking, financial markets, and financial crises, with a focus on Europe and the European economy.

I have discussed the proposed merger between Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank on CNBC or corporate debt and regulation with Deutsche Welle. Most recently, I debated whether the COVID crisis can ignite a new financial crisis with different media outlets and revisited this topic with Deutschlandfunk.

If you are an editor or a booker looking for expert commentary on these areas, please use the form below and include information about your media outlet, the specific request, and the deadline.

speaking engagements

I am available for speaking engagements at industry and academic events on current topics in banking, corporate finance and financial markets. Most recently, I was invited to speak on an expert panel on liquidity and firms after COVID crisis, discussed bank liquidity stress tests at the Federal Reserve Bank, and gave a virtual finance seminar on forecasting business cycle outcomes using the loan and bond market.
