Nicholas Smeele

Hi, I’m

smeele [at] eshpm [dot] eur [dot] nl

PhD candidate in economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam, bridging health economics, psychology, and philosophy.

Economic choice theory typically takes preferences as given. My work studies the psychological foundations of preferences: how people’s values shape them, and hence their choices and the welfare we infer from those choices. To do so, I develop experimental and computational methods.

I’m also the academic coordinator of the Erasmus Choice Modelling Centre and co-lead the Young International Academy of Health Preference Research.
