Welcome to my website!

I am a Professor of Behavioral Economics and Policy Design at the School of Business and Economics of Maastricht University (Section Microeconomics and Public Economics).

My main interests lie in behavioral and experimental economics. The goal of my research is to apply insights about behavioral regularities to the design of organizations, markets and public policy. In addition to my applied work, I conduct fundamental research on the nature of social and economic preferences. Please find a list of my research papers here.

I am one of the coordinators of the UM Behavioral Insights Center (UM-BIC).

Together with Thomas Meissner, I organize the yearly M-BEES and M-BEPS symposia.

Together with colleagues, I am currently working on a Netspar Theme Project on risk preference measurement and risk communication that is funded and carried out under the auspices of Instituut Gak. More information can be found here.

From 2019 to 2023, I worked on a Netspar Theme Project in which we try to understand and improve decisions related to pension savings. Please find the project website here. 

In the period from October 2017 to September 2019, I worked on a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship with the title “Wage transparency in companies”. Please find more information about the project here.
