Bio:

Jun.-Prof. Dr. Nadja Kairies-Schwarz was a research associate at CINCH within the Prof. Dr. Brosig-Kochs pay-for-performance (P4P) project since 10/2012. She has since received the junior professorship for experimental economics research and has taken the lead of the junior research group HCM. She has been as research associate with the quantitative economics policy chair at the University of Duisburg-Essen since 2008. From 2003 to 2008 she studied economics at the University of Konstanz and the Hong Kong University of Sciene and Technology. Her research interests are in the area of experimental economics research with special focus on incentives in the health sector.
