dr. M. (Mark) Treurniet

I am an Assistant Professor within the department of Economics, Econometrics and Finance at the Faculty of Economics and Business. I am also a Fellow of FEB Research Institute (FEBRI), a Member of the Network of Development Economists in the Netherlands 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:
* The role of hope and aspirations in economic development
* The impact of public-private interventions in food value chains

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.
