Academic resume
Rolf Caesar studied business administration and economics at the Universities of Cologne and Munich until 1967 (degree in business administration ). After working as a research assistant at the University of Cologne, he received his doctorate in 1970 from the finance scientist Karl-Heinreich Hansmeyer with a thesis on the “International Relationship of Wages”.
He then worked at the Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale until 1974 , before returning to the Cologne Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences as an assistant to do his habilitation there in 1979 at Hansmeyer on a monetary policy topic ("The scope of action of central banks") for economics.
After several years as a private lecturer in Cologne as well as substitute professorships at the Saarland University in Saarbrücken and at the Technical University of Berlin , in 1984 he took over a C3 professorship for economics at the Ruhr University in Bochum .

Scientific work
In his academic work, Caesar deals with a wide range of questions relating to applied economic, financial and monetary policy. Special emphasis is placed on the economic aspects of European integration (for example the question of the introduction of an independent taxation competence of the EU, which Caesar is clearly opposed to, or the stability-political effects of the European single currency, the euro ) as well as market reform processes in general. In addition, Caesar has repeatedly published on topics from recent economic history, in particular from currency and savings bank history.
Characteristic of Caesar's writings is, on the one hand, the political-economic perspective, which he contrasts with the economic-theoretical-mechanical perspective, and, on the other hand, the high degree of general comprehensibility, which repeatedly enables him to work interdisciplinary with lawyers and political scientists.
Caesar was one of the signatories of the Euro-critical manifesto The Monetary Policy Decisions of Maastricht: A Danger for Europe (1992) and the Hamburg Appeal (2005).
