Economic Aspects of Market-based Flexibility for Electricity Networks
(2023)
This thesis contributes to the discussion of the utilization of network-supportive flexibility, in particular in the context of local flexibility markets (LFM). The thesis comprises five articles that are methodologically related but can be read independently. The focus of the investigations is on economic aspects and short- and medium-term market processes.
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the topic including the definition of the most important terms. Chapter 2 includes the paper, “Design of regional flexibility ...

Analysis on Successful Project Completion in Reward-based Crowdfunding
(2023-10)
Project creators often encounter difficulties when trying to secure funding. This is primarily because traditional investors view projects as lacking equity, not attractive enough and carrying high risks. However, with the advent of Web 2.0 crowdfunding has emerged as an alternative financing option in recent years. While crowdfunding continues to foster innovation and creativity the success rate of reward-based crowdfunding campaigns is often below 50%. Consequently, project creators are actively seeking solutions ...

Experimental analyses of individual sustainable choices
(2023)
This dissertation complements the aforementioned studies by considering choice and allocation experiments which allow to directly examine how individuals choose between sustainable prod-ucts and their conventional counterparts. It particularly examines how different experimental designs and interventions causally affect choices between sustainable electricity contracts and investments over their conventional counterparts and provides guidance on how to analyze these choices using a Monte Carlo experiment.

Peeking into the Black Box of Researcher Mobility and Knowledge Diffusion
(2020-03-18)
This dissertation thesis presents four studies on the relevance of individuals’ mobility for the dissemination of knowledge. They add to the literature on the economics of science and innovation as well as regional economics. Previous literature has shown researcher mobility to be an important driver of knowledge diffusion and, subsequently, the creation of new knowledge. However, different mobility types are often correlated and hard to differentiate. This thesis tries to help advance this research strand, in ...

A systematic literature review exploring uncertainty management and sustainability outcomes in circular supply chains
(2021)
The circular economy (CE) has inspired the emergence of circular supply chains (CSCs) to reduce the environmental impacts of linear production systems. However, the transition to CSCs faces numerous challenges and uncertainties, which in turn impact the sustainability performance of CSCs. Following a systematic review process, this paper aims to identify the uncertainties that CSCs entail and the uncertainty management strategies which can be used to mitigate them to enhance their sustainability performance. A ...

Quantitative analysis of the Interbank credit market e-MID in the high frequency domain
(2020)
Interbankenkreditmärkte, und vor allem das ungesicherte übernacht-Segment, gelten aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln als wichtig für das gesamte Finanzsystem. So können Banken an diesen Märkten effizient Liquidität handeln oder dadurch Verpflichtungen in Zahlungs- und Abrechnungssystemen einhalten. Distorsionen in der Liquiditätsbeschaffung haben dabei negative Auswirkungen auch auf der mikroökonomischen Ebene, da diese die Kreditkonditi-onen von Haushalten und Firmen beeinflussen. Da Interbankenkreditmärkte als der erste ...

The Impact of Missing Values on PLS, ML and FIML Model Fit
(2020)
Structural equation modelling has become widespread in the marketing research domain due to the possibility of creating and investigating latent constructs. Today, several estimation methods are available, each with strengths and drawbacks. This study investigates how the established estimation methods of partial-least-squares (PLS), maximum likelihood (ML) and full-information maximum likelihood (FIML) perform with an increasing percentage of missing values (MVs). The research was conducted by investigating an adapted ...
