Erwin Amann

Prof. Dr. Erwin Amann serves as Chair of Microeconomics at the Faculty of Business and Economics, University of Duisburg-Essen. His office is located at Universitätsstraße 12, 45117 Essen (Space: R12 R06 A39), with consultation hours available by email pre-registration. He holds significant administrative roles including Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Head of the Economics program.

His research spans Game Theory, Auction Theory, and Evolutionary Game Theory, with recent extensions into Health Economics (medical kickbacks), Environmental Economics (wastewater standardization), and Education Economics (blended learning incentives). His methodological approaches integrate experimental economics, theoretical modeling, and applied policy analysis.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant trends in strategic decision-making under incomplete information, behavioral responses to economic shocks, and institutional design for public goods provision. Key interdisciplinary connections appear between evolutionary game theory and healthcare markets, while recent work increasingly incorporates field experiments in educational settings.

Prof. Amann has authored monographs including Decision Theory - Individual, Strategic, and Collective Decisions (Springer, 2019) and Game Theory For Dummies (Wiley-VCH, 2012). His publications appear in journals such as German Economic Review, Mathematical Social Sciences, and Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization.

Administratively, he serves as Capacity Officer for Economics and oversees the Master's degree program in Economics. His teaching portfolio includes Microeconomics, Game Theory, and Information Economics courses. Current research focuses on incentive structures in blended learning environments and evolutionary stability of cooperative behavior in medical markets.
