A new, innovative EU project in the area of the food value chain has been launched at the end of 2023 in the field of marketing at the Department of Business at Paris Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS). The trans-national project will run for 26 months and aims to combat food waste and create added value for the region.

The Austrian National Bank (OeNB) supports the research project “Human-Algorithm Interactions in Economic Decision Making” of Alexander K. Wagner at the PLUS Department of Economics with an Anniversary Fund of about 250K Euros. This project aims to advance the understanding of some of the key changes that human-AI collaborations bring to economic decision making by investigating AI-supported human decision making in two important economic domains: pricing and demand planning.

Anna Stelzer received the “Award of Excellence” (Staatspreis Dissertation) 2023 for her outstanding dissertation on monetary policy in the euro area. The former PhD student at the Department of Economics of the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg  wrote her dissertation under the supervision of Professor Florian Huber.
