On November 5 this year, American voters will have a choice: will they support former Republican President Donald Trump? Or will they elect Vice President Kamala Harris, who was chosen as the Democratic candidate at short notice following President Joe Biden’s decision not to run again? This US presidential election is likely to be one of the most important elections on the global stage. The world is currently suffering from wars, rising tensions between major powers, and other geopolitical risks. Nevertheless, most of these risks have not yet radically affected the outlook for economies and markets. However, many observers fear that this could change if the US returns to an aggressive “America First” stance. On the other hand, Harris is seen as a candidate of policy continuity who will maintain many of Biden’s economic and foreign policy measures.

ifo President Clemens Fuest has praised the awarding of this year’s Nobel Prize in Economics. “In their work, this year’s Nobel Prize winners examined the importance of institutions such as democracy, freedom of contract and the protection of private property for prosperity and, conversely, how prosperity affects the development of institutions. The topic is highly relevant to economic policy and highly topical. An excellent choice,” said Fuest on Monday in Munich. The Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences goes to the three researchers Daron Acemoğlu, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson.

Hannah Schildberg-Hörisch’s research aims at promoting a better understanding of individual decision making as a prerequisite for the design of effective incentive schemes, institutions, and policies. To pursue this goal, she combines state-of-the-art empirical methods (from applied microeconometrics, laboratory experiments and RCTs, as well as survey design) with an interdisciplinary perspective from economics and psychology.

Much of her current research centers around 1) the measurement, determinants, and consequences of people’s self-control problems and sophistication about them and 2) the formation of children’s skills (such as time, risk, and social preferences, precision of self-assessment, personality traits and IQ).
