Robert Shiller, who is a professor at Yale University, received the Nobel Prize for economics together with two other American researchers. Their work showed how capital markets follow clear rules over the long term. Last November as part of the Allianz Distinguished Visitors program, Shiller drew an audience of 250 people for his lecture entitled "Finance and the Good Society". In it he made the case for a democratization of financial markets and explained how important financial issues are in everyday life.

Allianz Distinguished Visitors
The Allianz Distinguished Visitors program was founded in 2012 by the American Academy in Berlin and Allianz SE. This initiative seeks to promote the transatlantic relationship between the US and Germany. Since then, in conjunction with Allianz Distinguished Visitors, well-known Americans from the academic and business world have been traveling to Germany twice a year where they teach and hold guest lectures.
