Sophia Praetorius from the Geneva School of Economics and Management will be our guest at the Research Seminar in Economics on June 3, presenting her paper “Flooded with Uncertainty: Data and Design Pitfalls in Measuring the Granular Impact of Natural Disasters.” She is a trade economist interested in multinational production networks. Her research interests lie at the intersection of International Trade and IO. In particular, she investigates the impact of inter-firm collaborations such as licensing and joint ventures on multinational production decisions and how this shapes global production.
In the summer term, excellent international scientists visit the University of Hohenheim in the research seminar and give lectures on their research. In addition to attending the lecture, there is often a special opportunity during office hours to exchange ideas with the guest, e.g. about their own research approaches.
Master's students are also welcome to take part in the research seminar and talk to the speakers as well as the doctoral students, postdocs and professors at the institute.
The lecture will take place on June 3, 2026 at 12:00 pm in HS 35 (Kavaliershaus).
