I am Professor of Housing & Household Finance - Maastricht University, and also a professor at Tias Business Schools.

In my academic research I focus on the financial economics of relate to real estate markets. Typically, I opt for empirical studies in which the facts are leading.

At the moment I focus my attention of three main topics:

• Risk and return of real estate investments
• Sustainability in the housing market
• Financial literacy of real estate users and -deciders
