As every year, the workshop offered young researchers the opportunity to present their current projects and discuss them with Hohenheim scientists as well as national and international guests. The program was highly diverse, covering the full spectrum of finance research, from corporate finance and insurance to financial market econometrics.
This year's presenters included:
Efe Cagli (Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey),
Nadja Häckel (Department of Banking and Financial Services),
Victoria Krautter (Department of Monetary and International Macroeconomics),
Javier Pena (Department of Business Mathematics and Data Science),
Marius Puke (Department of Econometrics and Statistics),
Johannes Raabe (Department of Accounting and Finance),
Rebecca Schopf (Department of Insurance Economics and Social Security),
Karsten Schweikert (Director of Data and Statistical Consulting, Core Facility Hohenheim),
Steffen Sebastian (Chair of Real Estate Finance, University of Regensburg).
All presenters received valuable feedback and numerous new ideas for their research.
During the workshop, the DALAHO Student Best Paper Award was presented to Nadja Häckel for her work on "Realized Measures in Financial Markets: Approaches for Improved Volatility Forecasting."
A special highlight was the tour of the Heiligkreuztal Monastery. Participants learned fascinating details about the history of the former Cistercian nunnery, founded in the 13th century. Highlights included the Gothic architecture of the monastery church, elaborate frescoes, and well-preserved stucco work. The monastery once served as an important religious and cultural center in the region and today is a popular venue for conferences and gatherings.
The inspiring atmosphere of Heiligkreuztal Monastery and the diverse program provided ideal conditions for lively discussions and new insights in finance research.
