Thierry Rossier, Dr.

Projektbeschreibung


Thierry Rossier has been funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation to work on elite coordination, and on gender inequalities within elite occupations and among business top managers. He is particularly interested in the social studies of economics, on the impact of economists in society and on the scientific and political distinctions among economists. He also works more generally on the social structuration of scientific disciplines and on scientific careers, networks and discourses. He specialises in the use of descriptive quantitative methods, such as geometric data analyses, social network analysis, sequence analysis or topic modelling.
