Professor Marcel Olbert Assumes the Chair of Taxation, Accounting, and Finance
After completing his doctoral degree at Mannheim Business School, including a research stay at Stanford University as a visiting scholar, Olbert taught and conducted research at London Business School, which is regularly ranked among the world’s top ten business schools. In 2024, he was named one of Poets&Quants’ World’s Best 40-Under-40 MBA Professors. He serves on the Editorial Review Board of the leading U.S. journal The Accounting Review and is an Associate Editor of the European Accounting Review, underscoring his standing among the international top tier of business scholars.
In Mannheim, Olbert will expand his research on business taxation, international tax planning, private equity, and the investment decisions of multinational firms. Additional focal areas include the economic effects of transparency and disclosure regulation, sustainability regulation, and the impact of economic policies in developing countries. The planned research center will bring these themes together and further strengthen the transfer of research findings to academia, business, and policymaking.
