Introduction
I am a behavioural economist at Wageningen Economic Research. My research focuses on impact evaluations of development interventions and on the role behaviour drivers in transition processes – mainly in low and middle income countries, but increasingly in high-income countries as well. I use survey data to map production and consumption decisions, and experimental data to elicit risk attitudes and social preferences of individuals, complemented with qualitative methods.
I am involved in multiple research projects on transition processes worldwide. I conduct impact evaluation projects in the domains of nutrition and sustainable rural development in international, multidisciplinary research teams, among others commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DFID, and Rainforest Alliance.
Before joining Wageningen Economic Research, I conducted my PhD research at the Development Economics Group at Wageningen University on the role of informal institutions on rural development in Liberia and worked as a post-doctoral researcher on various impact evaluation projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. I have a track-record of academic publications in peer-reviewed journals.
