# Research Profile
Rich in tradition, the faculty is one of the largest and most research-intensive in Germany. It was here that Ludwig Erhard earned his doctoral degree, Erich Gutenberg taught and Reinhard Selten, Germany’s first Nobel Prize laureate in economic sciences, completed his habilitation. Frankfurt is the academic home of many business and economics professors currently working at German universities.
At the present time, over 65 professors and a large number of academic staff / early career researchers are teaching and conducting research at the faculty. They have been collaborating on an interdisciplinary basis in various departments since 2000 (see below), in this way removing the classic demarcation between economics and business administration.
Current research priorities, predominantly in basic research, are:
- Digitalization & Data Science
- Growth, Development & Innovation
- Money & Finance
- Organization & Governance
In addition, the faculty profits from close cooperation with renowned research institutions (e.g. the Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE (“Sustainable Architecture for Finance in Europe”)), a modern research infrastructure and the proximity to international companies and organizations in Frankfurt am Main.
