Philipp Strack received his doctorate from the Faculty of Law and Economics in 2013 after completing degrees in mathematics and economics at the University of Bonn and studying at the Bonn Graduate School of Economics. Today he is a professor at the renowned Yale University. “The doctoral program in economics at the University of Bonn is simply outstanding,” praises Strack, ”it gave me a good start - also for the USA.” From there, he continued his collaboration with Bonn researchers, which has led to numerous high-ranking publications.
Strack maintains close contact with Bonn. His current list of publications includes seven working papers and published studies, which he wrote together with Benny Moldovanu, director of the BGSE and the Institute of Microeconomics as well as a member of the Cluster of Excellence ECONtribute. He also works with Prof. Botond Köszegi (Institute for Applied Microeconomics), and a Cluster of Excellence ECONtribute member.
Further, he collaborates with Prof. Andreas Kleiner and Prof. Mengxi Zhang, both also from the Institute of Microeconomics and members of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bonn, specifically on new analytical approaches in mechanism design.
