Julian Berger awarded with a Fellowship of the Joachim Herz Stiftung

January 27, 2025

Julian Berger, Predoctoral Fellow at the Center for Adaptive Rationality, has been awarded the "Add-on Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Economics" by the Joachim Herz Foundation. 

Julian Berger will use the funding to investigate how transparent algorithms can help consumers better understand and influence their credit scores. A good credit score is crucial for economic participation and influences important life events such as renting an apartment or taking out a home loan. When consumers understand how their score works, they can take action to achieve their financial goals. 

With its "Add-on Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Economics", the Joachim Herz Foundation supports young academics who are working on economic topics with high social relevance. Over a period of two years, the fellows are supported with an amount of up to 12,500 Euro.
