Management researchers, Economists, and Social Scientists of the WiSo-Faculty study the appropriate design of institutions that govern social and economic transactions. Topics are for instance the design of electronic markets, of incentive schemes in organizations, supply chains or marketing strategies. Using scientic tools and methods like game theory, contract theory, econometrics, survey research, and experiments, a key aim of research in this eld is to develop insights that help real world decision makers. 2) Social and Economic Behavior Understanding the fundamentals of social and economic behavior is of key interest to all researchers involved in CGS. To achieve this, scientists have turned to experimental methods, a relatively recent subeld of Economics. The Cologne Laboratory of Economic Research provides a unique infrastructure to advance research in this eld as it is among the most modern and largest laboratories of its kind. Research topics include the study of social preferences and the emergence of social norms and trust among economic agents and psychological underpinnings of social and economic behavior. Among others, two Leibniz Awardees, Axel Ockenfels and Thomas Mussweiler, jointly work in this area as principal investigators of the Graduate School. 3) Internationally Comparative Social Research With the advent of harmonized micro data collected simultaneously in different countries, internationally com- parative social research has become a major cross-discipline eld in our Faculty. Comparative social research within CGS combines the use of micro data and aggregate data within a unied theoretical and methodological framework that distinguishes the social order at the macro level and life opportunities at the micro level. Admissions Each year, CGS awards 10 to 12 scholarships to excellent students (among the top 10 % of their year). Applicants must have a documented record of academic excellence and hold a M.A., MSc, or a Diploma in a discipline relevant to the Schools research area. Students from outside Germany are particularly welcome. The ability to do academic work in English is a prerequisite for admission. Students will be evaluated at the end of each year. Admission to each successive phase of the program depends on a positive evaluation. Students may submit their dissertation in English or German. The preferred form of the dissertation is a cumulative dissertation consisting of at least three papers. All dissertations are to be submitted to the Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences. The degree awarded will be Dr. rer. pol. Applications must be submitted from the end of February to April 30 of each year. Shortlisted applicants will be invited for an interview in May of each given year. The program begins in October. For further details see www.cgs.uni-koeln.de. Financial and Organizational Support Students admitted to the program will receive a monthly fellowship of EUR 1,200.

Students will have fully equipped ofce space, full access to libraries and all associated research institutions as well as administrative support regarding visas, international travel, etc. PhD Program The three-year program employs interdisciplinary methods and courses with special emphasis on quantitative and empirical research.

Without the program, I would have looked less often at current developments in other elds. But exactly this is important for aiming at the top journals and conferences. Dominik Becker, Germany I study at the Cologne Graduate School because its interdisciplinary orientation allows me to work with different people in different areas and conduct modern empirical research that combines related disciplines.
