Ich betreue Projektarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten. Dies selektiv und mit engem thematischen Bezug zu meinen gegenwärtigen Forschungsthemen. Ich gebe keine genauen Themen innerhalb dieses Rahmens vor, da meines Erachtens die eigene Themenentwicklung mit wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen und testbaren Hypothesen nicht nur ein wichtiger Bestandteil der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit, sondern auch eine Determinante wissenschaftlicher Qualität ist. Die folgende Liste ist also als indikativ zu verstehen:

  • Ways to circumvent the resource-curse: concepts for a benign role of resources for economic development
  • Natural resource funds: using national resource wealth to improve conditions for economic development
  • Infrastructure for resources: the Chinese alternative to development aid and the procurement of natural resources
  • The role of foreign direct investments into extractive industries for economic development via technology transfer and spillovers
  • The global market for natural resources: economic implications of country and or firm-concentration
  • (including the economics of past or future export restraints of natural resources)
  • The economics of supply-interruptions/restrictions or supply-security for German/European industry with natural resources, needed for production, innovation, and growth
  • Towards a multilateral framework of supply and demand of natural resources
  • China's role in global value chains

Um eine möglichst gute Betreuung zu gewährleisten, habe ich eine Informations- und Koordinierungsseite in OPAL eingestellt. Sie soll den Bearbeitern wichtige Hinweise und Tipps geben, als auch die Kommunikation und Terminplanung zwischen Betreuer und Bearbeiter organisieren.
