dr. M. (Mark) Treurniet

I am an Assistant Professor within the department of Economics, Econometrics and Finance at the Faculty of Economics and Business. In this capacity, I am also a Fellow of FEB Research Institute (FEBRI), Member of the University Council, Chair of the Dutch Development Economics Network (DuDE) and an Affiliate of the Collaborative for Econometrics and Integrated Development Studies (CEIDS).

My field of research is development economics, and most of my work is linked to the following topics:
* How psychological mechanisms shape economic impacts of development interventions
* The impact of public-private interventions in food value chains

For my research, I am collaborating with societal organisations in low or lower-middle income countries. I use (quasi) experimental methods to learn about the impact of their development interventions

I have conducted projects in Indonesia, Kenya and Rwanda, and am currently working on projects in the Philippines, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Uganda.

Before I came to the University of Groningen, I was a PhD student and postdoc at the Development Economics group of Wageningen University.
