Luise Görges is an Acting Professor in Economics at the University of Hamburg, specializing in empirical health economics. She received her PhD in Economics from the University of Hamburg in 2018 and subsequently worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER). In 2020, she joined Leuphana University in Lüneburg as a Junior Professor in Economics, focusing particularly on Microeconomics. Görges’ research delves into how social norms and institutional frameworks shape economic behavior and contribute to social inequalities, with a focus on domains such as labor, health, family, and gender. Her methodological approach combines behavioral experimental economics with microeconometric analysis and the use of survey and administrative data. A central aspect of her work investigates the influence of gender norms on individual decision-making within households and labor markets. Additionally, she explores the role of law in shaping norms and the long-term effects of exposure to gender equality on women’s economic outcomes. In 2019, she was awarded the Gender Award by the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Hamburg for her dissertation. In 2020, she co-founded and co-hosts the podcast 'Herzkopfen', which aims to present research in economics and social sciences to a broader audience in an accessible and engaging format.
