Zur Person

Professor Dr Andre Guettler holds the position of Director of the Institute of Strategic Management and Finance at Ulm University. He joined the IWH as a Research Professor in June 2016. His research focuses on financial intermediation with particular emphasis on the real effects of financial regulation, competition between banks, access to credit, and credit rating agencies.
