FRIAS Rector's Fellowship Project
Explorations in Conflict Economics: Belief, Identity, and Strategic Violence.
This project develops a unified political-economy framework for the study of conflict that links cultural salience to institutional transmission and strategic choice. Eclipse-induced shifts in perceived religiosity identify effects on war initiation and the hardening of ingroup-outgroup boundaries. First-name dynamics record durable alignment with leaders, offering a revealed-preference gauge of legitimacy and mobilization. For violent non-state actors, effectiveness is evaluated by consequential international responses rather than tactical success. A parallel program constructs rigorous causal measures of willingness to endorse transgressive political action, including forms of martyrdom. Across parts, new data and transparent identification trace routes from meaning to institutions to confrontation.
FRIAS Project Group "Agrivoltaics"
Prof. Dr. Tim Krieger is a member of the Project Group “Agrivoltaics.”
The Agri-Photovoltaics Project Group at the University of Freiburg advances Agri-PV as a key technology for sustainable land use: solar generation and farming co-located on the same plots to boost land productivity and climate resilience. Our interdisciplinary approach links field insights, modeling, and techno-economic analysis with social-science work on adoption, governance, and value chains. In doing so, we contribute to core UN goals—climate-resilient agriculture (SDG 2), efficient water use (SDG 6), clean energy (SDG 7), climate action (SDG 13), and responsible consumption (SDG 12). We aim to strengthen collaboration across the university, build international visibility, and deepen research capacity—complementing the application-oriented activities of Fraunhofer ISE.
