About me I
am currently employed as an assistant professor at the Erasmus School
of Economics. Before that, I did my Ph.D. in Utrecht at the department
of economic geography. At the moment, I am also a member of the Erasmus Studio.
In my research, I try to understand why individuals, firms, regions or
countries end up producing the products and services they produce. An
important notion in this research is that, in order to produce
something, the individuals, firms, regions and countries all need
specific capabilities. Some products require similar capabilities
and are therefore related. This relatedness turns out to structure the
way in which the industrial portfolios of companies and regions
develop.
