List of presentations

Beyond the Marshallian Cross: Economics as Complexity Science", talk at the Lecture Series "An Introduction to Pluralism in Economics" provided by the students network Rethinking Economics, 27. Nov. 2019, Tübingen. [full program]
- In this context, take a look at this 12min Video (German) I did for Infernum 2015. In the video, I discuss briefly the workings of a tax in a traditional Marshallian microeconomic model and point to the limitations of such an approach.
