PictureI am assistant professor in economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam and associate editor of Small Business Economics.

My research interests are in the fields of genoeconomics, behavioral economics and  entrepreneurship. 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 one of the principal investigators and co-founders of the Gentrepreneur Consortium and the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium (SSGAC). 

A selection of my papers is accessible online.

News
