Welcome to my homepage!I am an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) at the University of Groningen. >>CV As a micro development economist, my research focuses on i) markets and products for coping with risks and shocks, ii) organizational structures, and iii) microeconomic determinants of labor productivity. I study these topics in particular in the context of microfinance. I use both applied micro-econometric and experimental economics methods, such as randomized controlled trials, natural experiments, and lab-in-the-field experiments, and I usually collect primary data in low income countries.
