A new study by the Cluster of Excellence ECONtribute, involving BGSE PhD candidate Philipp Schirmer, shows why people often draw different conclusions from company news than financial economics would suggest — and how much this has to do with the way they think markets work. Published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics.

📢 SOZIAHR startet große Bevölkerungsumfrage im Ahrtal
Am 14. Juli 2026 jährte sich die Ahrtalflut zum fünften Mal. Das Bonner Forschungsprojekt SOZIAHR nimmt dies zum Anlass für eine umfassende Bilanz: Wie ist es den Menschen aus dem Ahrtal seither ergangen? 🏞️
Eingeladen sind alle erwachsenen Bürger*innen, die zum Stichtag der Flut in Adenau, Altenahr, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Sinzig oder Grafschaft gemeldet waren und dort heute noch wohnen oder höchstens einmal umgezogen sind – das sind rund 70.000 Personen.
📬 Ab Anfang August erhalten Sie die Einladung zur Teilnahme postalisch an Ihre aktuelle Meldeadresse.
Ihre Erfahrungen und Perspektiven sind wichtig, um zu verstehen, wie sich das Leben im Ahrtal seit der Flut verändert hat – und was für die Zukunft gebraucht wird.
