Der homo oeconomicus und seine Vorurteile - Eine Analyse des zivilrechtlichen Benachteiligungsverbots

In her interdisciplinary dissertation, the author challenges the purely legalistic approach to civil rights discrimination protection. Using theories drawn from economics and psychology, she analyzes discrimination and asks whether and in what way the ban on civil rights discrimination actually influences such choices. On this basis, she makes a normative argument for anti–discrimination prohibitions that preserve freedom.
