Martijn van den Assem

I am a Professor of Finance at VU Amsterdam. The scope of my chair is Financial Judgment and Decision Making. I am affiliated with the Tinbergen Institute as a Research Fellow (TI), and serve as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO).

On September 21, 2017, I delivered my inaugural lecture (in Dutch).

I work on themes in the fields of financial and behavioral economics, preferably where they intersect. My main research interests are related to financial judgment and decision making. Most of my projects are empirical, focused at individual choice, and based on non-standard data. In 2016 NWO awarded me a prestigious €800k Vidi research grant.

I am one of the initiators and organizers of the biennial Research in Behavioral Finance Conference (RBFC) series. The first edition was held in September 2014 in Rotterdam, the second and most recent one in September 2016 in Amsterdam. The next RBFC will be in 2018. Photos, programs and other information can be found on the RBFC website.

Joint with Doron Kliger and Remco Zwinkels I have edited a special issue entitled Empirical Behavioral Finance for the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization (Vol. 107, Part B, 2014; ScienceDirect; Editorial).
