Olivier Marie has been awarded an NWO VIDI Grant of € 800,000
Olivier Marie
Olivier Marie, Professor of Labour Economics at Erasmus School of Economics has been awarded a Vidi grant for his project entitled: “The Non-Making of a Criminal”. Crime has recently fallen significantly in the Netherlands with 25% less offences committed than a decade ago. The overall cost of crime to society has simultaneously increased making each offence committed ever more expensive and thus urgent to better understand this crime drop to further improve crime prevention efficiency. The main objectives of this project are twofold. First, advance scientific knowledge of the causes of crime. Second, propose novel efficient policy tools to prevent it. Crucially, it will seek to achieve both these goals while simultaneously developing the concept of a life-cycle approach as the norm in economics of crime research.

An ERC Starting Grant (€ 1,500,000) has been awarded to Aurélien Baillon
Aurélien Baillon
Aurélien Baillon, Professor of economics of uncertainty at the Erasmus School of Economics, received a Starting Grant of 1.5 million euros from the European Research Council (ERC). Aurélien Baillon received the grant for the project “Bayesian markets for unverifiable truths”. In this project he will develop a new approach to get correct answers to questions that are otherwise unverifiable, e.g. concerning one’s happiness or the estimated likelihood of dramatic fatal events. As such the results of the project have a potential beyond economics, in a broad range of social sciences.

An ERC Starting Grant (€ 1,500,000) has been awarded to Niels Rietveld
Niels Rietveld
Niels Rietveld, Associate Professor at Erasmus School of Economics and Executive Director of the Erasmus University Rotterdam Institute for Behavior and Biology (EURIBEB), has been awarded a Starting Grant by the European Research Council. Niels Rietveld received the grant for his project "Genes, Policy, and Social Inequality". Many important indicators of social status (such as one’s level of education, occupation, and income) have been shown to be moderately heritable, meaning that a part of the variation in social status can be explained by genetic differences across population members. Niels Rietveld (with his co-authors) has been able to identify, for the first time, specific genetic variants that are robustly associated with such an indicator, namely educational attainment (Rietveld et al., 2013, Science). By methodologically advancing the estimation of the interaction between genes and environments, this research project aims to settle two long lasting debates in social science genetics. First, Rietveld aims to show how heritability studies –despite earlier firm rejections of this position– can be informative for policies aiming to reduce social inequalities. Second, he will assess the critique that social science genetics attributes effects to genes which should be attributed to the environments individuals live in.
