Florian Horky

Since September 2020 I am a PhD student at the Chair of International & Digital Economics. For my PhD, I am investigating the financing behavior of small- and medium-sized enterprises to specifically uncover behavioral economic aspects. Thereby, I want to contribute to the understanding of the different distribution channels of external financing as well as financial policy. In addition, I investigate general capital market dynamics such as those that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, I study artificial intelligence, new digital business models, and the impact of these on the economy and society. In this area, I strongly combine scientific findings with practical approaches to solutions.

Since January, I have been working as a project coordinator for the MWK project "Forschendes Lernen 2.0" at Zeppelin University. In this role I am responsible for the internationalization of student research, as well as the introduction of a new research-oriented master's program.
