Anne Gielen has been awarded an NWO VIDI Grant of € 800,000
Anne Gielen
The research of Anne Gielen aims to further understanding of causal intergenerational relationships in welfare receipt by exploiting various quasi-natural experiments combined with ‘big data’. First, it investigates the extent to which welfare receipt in childhood has long term effects on socio-economic and health outcomes in adulthood, including reliance on welfare. In addition, it studies two critical mechanisms through which welfare dependency may be transmitted from one generation to the next, and investigates how dependency evolves over multiple generations. Finally, it extends the focus to the entire life cycle, identifying whether there exist critical phases over the life cycle where the impact of parental welfare dependency on next generations’ outcomes is largest. The findings of this research can help improve the design of welfare policy by indicating whether, when, and how public policies should target children in welfare receiving families.

Anne Opschoor has been awarded an NWO VIDI Grant of € 800,000
Anne Opschoor
Anne Opschoor receives an NWO Vidi grant for his research 'Heterogeneity in extreme risks in high dimensions' Uncertainties like covid19 or Brexit have potentially different effects on countries and industries. Most contemporary models cannot describe such heterogeneity sufficiently well. This research develops new models with more heterogeneity in risk responses and investigates the economic differentiation and robustness of different countries and industries in Europe.

PhD candidate Florian Sniekers wins ESB Award 2015
Florian Sniekers
TI-UvA PhD student Florian Sniekers (Amsterdam School of Economics, University of Amsterdam) has been awarded he ESB Award 2015 for his article "Eerst kopen of eerst verkopen op de woningmarkt" (co-authors are Espen Moen and Plamen Nenov). The article shows that moving owner-occupiers should buy first whenever there are many buyers in the market, and should sell first whenever there are many sellers in the market. However, when households buy first, they tend to crowd the buyers' side of the market, and when they sell first, they crowd the sellers' side. As a result, multiple equilibria exist, and self-fulfilling fluctuations between these steady states are quantitatively relevant. The jury praised the intuitiveness as well as the depth of these results.
