Visit to hkp group in Frankfrut am Main

Patrick Kampkötter visited the hkp group last thursday with a group of 20 students

Last Thursday we had the great opportunity to visit hkp///group in Frankfurt am Main with a group of about 20 master students from the Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen as part of our seminar "The Gender Pay Gap: Bridging Research & Practice".
Our students prepared a variety of topics on the gender pay gap, such as decomposition methods, drivers of the gender pay gap, gender promotion gaps, gender ask gaps, or the effects of pay transparency and regulation on the gender pay gap.
From hkp///group we received input on topics such as regulatory framework and investors expectations, the hkp///group Fair Pay approach, how to get from unadjusted to adjusted gender pay gap and we finally discussed measures to close the gender pay gap.
It was a hands-on workshop where we also talked about the statistical models hkp///group is using in consulting projects and build an econometric model interactively. Many thanks to Jennifer Schulz, Verena Vandervelt and Michael Haas for this wonderful day where we all learned incredibly much and for the hospitality. Such an exchange between firms and universities is extremely fruitful and enriching for our students and also for us.
