I am  a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in economics at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Groningen (the Netherlands). I am an applied microeconometrician who works on the economics of aging, in particular the intersection of health, saving behavior and social insurance. In my job market paper, I examine the determinants of long-term care use, including informal care provision, the need for care and economic resources.
