Jurjen Kamphorst
I am an assistant professor at the Erasmus School of Economics in Rotterdam, and a fellow of the Tinbergen Institute.
Earlier I have worked at the USE in Utrecht, the law faculty in Leiden and, as a PhD student, at the VU in Amsterdam.
Currently I am living with my wife and two children in Capelle aan den IJssel.
Research interests
In recent years I have mainly done theoretical research on the role of feedback on employee motivation, and on how workfloor anticipation of discrimination (or favoritism) can induce such behavior by managers.
Moreover, I have contributed to the field of (social) network formation, as well as the fields of Industrial Organization, Law & Economics and Competition Policy.
