Jurjen Kamphorst
Biography
I always enjoyed studying a wide range of topics. My research covers a wide range of applied micro topics, covering social networks, law and economics, competition policy, industrial organization, personnel economics, crime economics and probably more by the time you read this.
If I may suggest one of my papers that you should read, it is Kamphorst and Swank (2016) in the AEJ: Micro, entitled "Don't Demotivate, Discriminate". It offers a new theory of discrimination. It can explain why discrimination is so omnipresent, and so hard to get rid off.
