 I
am assistant professor in economics at Erasmus
University Rotterdam and associate editor of Small Business Economics.
My research interests are in the fields of entrepreneurship, behavioral economics and genoeconomics.
In particular, I investigate the role of genes, cognitive limits and
affect on economic behavior, with entrepreneurship as a particularly
vivid and relevant example. I am involved as a principal
investigator
in the Gentrepreneur Consortium and the newly founded Social Science
Genetic Association Consortium (SSGAC).
A selection of my papers is
accessible online.
News
My colleagues Dan Benjamin, David Cesarini, Magnus Johannesson and I received a research grant from the Söderberg Foundation.
