Ik
ben Associate Professor of Finance aan de
Universiteit Maastricht en Open Universiteit en
tevens verbonden aan Netspar. Mijn onderzoek
houdt zich bezig met behavioral household
finance. Ik ben (1) geïnteresseerd in het beter
begrijpen van hoe huishoudens financiële
beslissingen nemen (b.v. sparen, beleggen, en
annuïteiten) en (2) het design van nudges en
interventies om financiële beslissingen te
veranderen.
