This book develops an empirically informed normative theory of need-based justice, summarizing core findings of the DFG research group FOR2104 'Need-based Justice and Distributive Procedures'. 

In eleven chapters scholars from the fields of economics, political science, philosophy, psychology, and sociology cover the identification and rationale of needs, the recognition and legitimacy of needs, the dynamics and stability of procedures of distributions according to needs, and the consequences and sustainability of need-based distributions. These four areas are studied from the perspective of two mechanisms of need objectification, the social objectification by the discursive generation of mutual understanding (transparency) and the factual objectification by the transfer of decisions to uninvolved experts (expertise). 

The volume addresses academics in the fields of justice research, ethics, political theory, social choice and welfare, framing, individual and group decision making, inequality and redistribution, as well as advanced students in the contributing disciplines.

He is co-editor, with Stefan Traub, of 'Need-based Distributive Justice. An Interdisciplinary Perspective' (Springer 2020). Further research areas cover aspects of labour markets and welfare states, in particular labour market participation of young people, refugees, and marginalized groups. He has been a principal investigator of the interdisciplinary research group 'Need-based justice and distribution procedures'. Recent papers have been published, i.a., in PLoS One, Experimental Economics, Social Science Research, Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics, and The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
