Florian Englmaier is a full Professor of Organizational Economics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU Munich), serving in the School of Economics' Dean's Office since fall 2019. Previously, he directed the Munich Graduate School of Economics (MGSE) from 2013-2019. His academic career includes professorships at the Universities of Konstanz and Würzburg, assistant professorship at LMU Munich, and postdoctoral positions at Harvard University (joint Economics Department/Harvard Business School) and University College London (ELSE), with visiting appointments at Stanford GSB and Kellogg School of Management.

His research centers on Organizational Economics, Industrial Organization, Contract Theory, Behavioral Economics, and Political Economics, critically examining management structures, incentive systems, and behavioral dynamics in economic contexts. Recent work investigates psychological safety in teams, firing cost impacts on present-biased employees, leadership efficacy during crises, and public sector management through empirical and experimental methodologies.

Englmaier's publication pattern reveals consistent focus on organizational behavior and human resource management, primarily through CEPR discussion papers. His research employs rigorous experimental designs (including RCTs) and field data to address real-world problems like crisis leadership, team performance optimization, and regulatory impacts on labor markets, bridging theoretical contract models with practical workplace applications across private and public sectors.
