Extended CV

Research

Jörg Claussen's research interests include questions of organization design as well as of applied industrial organization.

His main research question in the field of organization design is in how far environmental turbulence affects the relative performance of markets versus hierarchies. This question is tackled both with a formal modeling approach and with a large-scale dataset from the US video game market. Looking even deeper into organizations, his research also investigates how far an individual's connectedness from prior team collaboration leads to knowledge spillovers in new projects.

In the field of applied industrial organization, Jörg Claussen's research mainly focuses on the characteristics of network externalities. In one study, he shows that network externalities can be transferred across technological generations to sustain market dominance if the new generations are backward compatible. In another study, he deals with the question of drivers of a platform market's usage intensity such as network effects can be influenced by regulatory intervention.
