Profile

Bert obtained his PhD in November 2010 from the University of Leuven (Belgium), and has been a visiting researcher at Warwick University, the University of Bonn and has joined the Institute for the Study of Labour (IZA) as a research fellow in July 2013.

He has been working (either full time or part-time) at the Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA) from April 2010 until September 2015, which is based at the University of Maastricht (the Netherlands).

Bert has joint the ±¬ÁÏTV in October 2013, first as a research fellow of the Institute for Economic Analysis of Decision-Making (InstEAD).

He was appointed as Vice-Chancellor's Fellow from 5 October 2015 until 30 September 2019, and he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow from 1 January 2016 until 31 December 2017.

Research interests

His main research areas include economics and well-being, labour economics, applied microeconometrics and development economics.

Apart from academic research, Bert has also been involved in policy research such as for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Flemish Ministry of Labour, and one of his medium-term targets is to create spillovers between policy research and academic research.

He is currently involved in a randomized controlled trial with the Flemish employment agency, and his Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship from the European Commission allows him to closely collaborate with the British Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to evaluate labour market policies.
