Prof. Hoppe-Fischer's research focuses on contract theory, experimental economics, behavioral economics, and public economics, with particular interest in organizational design and behavior. Her work examines how contracts can be designed to address information asymmetries, moral hazard, and adverse selection in various economic contexts.

Her publications over the past decade demonstrate a consistent focus on contract theory applications, particularly in public infrastructure projects, public-private partnerships, and organizational design. The research combines theoretical modeling with experimental validation, bridging economic theory with real-world applications across multiple high-impact journals.

Her notable awards include:

• Reinhard Selten Award from the Verein für Socialpolitik
• Heinz Sauermann Award from the Gesellschaft für Experimentelle Wirtschaftsforschung (GEW)
• Ranked "Top 40 under 40" in the category Society and Science by Capital magazine

As a Principal Investigator at the Institute for Applied Microeconomics, Prof. Hoppe-Fischer leads research projects examining organizational design and contract theory applications. Her work has significant implications for public policy and private sector organizational structures, particularly in contexts where information asymmetries create challenges for efficient contracting.

She is based at the Juridicum building (Adenauerallee 24–42, 53113 Bonn, Germany) and works within the research ecosystem of the University of Bonn's economics department, contributing to both theoretical advances and practical applications of economic principles.
