Comments from the jury

‘Döttlings thesis combines finance and macro. It is especially interesting that phenomena such as the implementation/dominance of ICT in businesses’ production processes have direct implications for the valuation of assets by investors (and the businesses themselves).’ According to the jury, that is a novel insight that is expertly developed and substantiated.
