Falk Laser
TU DarmstadtI am a 5th year PhD student at TU Darmstadt and Goethe University Frankfurt. My main research field is in empirical banking and empirical I.O. I am interested in how competition in banking evolved and what impact government interventions like bank bailout and merger control have. Also I want to learn how the banking business is likely to evolve with new digital competitiors and the prospect of a European market. Other research includes the role of currency reserve management for central banks.
