Finance and Resources Management

Contact: Prof. Dr. Andreas Rathgeber

The research group “Finance and Resources Management” focuses on the development of financial concepts, which support companies in implementing a value-based management system, which ensures a long-term growth.

Our team of highly motivated researchers conducts model-theoretic as well as empirical, mostly quantitative research in – among others – the following research areas: 

• Quantitative Finance
  On the basis of quantitative methodologies of the theory of finance we aim at developing a financial and risk management system, which enables companies to take well-founded decisions on non-monetary and financial (dis)investments. 

• Materials Resource Management
  In close cooperation with researchers in the fields of physics, materials science and resources strategy we work on financially sound hedging strategies, which can be employed by companies in order to protect themselves successfully against price and availability risks, which arise from the use of non-renewable resources.
