A visit to Prof. Dr. Sarah Necker, Professor of Economics and Director of the ifo Center

Each semester, FAU President Prof. Dr. Joachim Hornegger visits professors in their institutes. He visits them there to talk about their research, to discover what is close to their heart and to get to know them better.

Our series introduces you to the researchers and gives an impression of the President’s meeting with them.

In episode 27, the President visits Prof. Dr. Sarah Necker. She is Chair of Economics and is also Director of the Ludwig Erhard ifo Center for Social Market Economy and Institutional Economics.
