Welcome to my homepage. I am a professor of economics at the University of Leuven. I am also a Research Fellow of the CEPR, an International Research Fellow of the Institute for Fiscal Studies (London) and affiliated with CentER (Tilburg University) and IZA (Bonn). My main research interests are in the economics of the household, with a focus on demand, labor supply, intra-household allocation and matching on the marriage market. I have been a Joint Managing Editor of the Economic Journal from 2012 to 2021 and a member of the Editorial Board of the Review of Economic Studies from 2010-2017. I am an Associate Editor of the Review of Economics of the Household and de Economist. Together with Laurens Cherchye and Bram De Rock, I was awarded the Francqui Prize in 2019.
