I am an Associate Professor at the University of Groningen and the Program Director of the MSc Economics at the University of Groningen. >> CV
As a micro development economist, my research focuses on i) financial markets and products in low-income countries, ii) incentives and norms in microfinance, and iii) gender-related constraints to labor productivity. 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.
