I am also a part of the team of ECOOM - STORE (Steunpunt Economie en Ondernemen - Policy Research Centre for Economics and Entrepreneurship) where I advise the Flemish/Belgian government on fundamental economic questions with various policy papers. These papers use state-of-the-art empirical methods (DiD, IV, ... ) to answer questions raised by government institutions on Industrial Policy and its implications on Firm growth, Productivity, Technology adoption, and potential Spillover effects on nonrecipients.
Below, you can find a selection of my work. The papers are written in Dutch. An English translation of the title is added.
