Elisa de Weerd

I am a PhD Candidate in Health Economics at the Erasmus School of Economics (Erasmus University Rotterdam), under the supervision of Hans van Kippersluis (EUR) and John Cawley (Cornell University). As of February 2025, I have joined Radboud University as a Postdoctoral Researcher.

My research interests include health economics, labor economics, the economics of risky health behaviors, and LGBTQ+ economics. You can find more information on my research here.

Furthermore, I am a freelance editor at Dutch economic journal ESB. I edit economic articles by academics and policymakers, and make and host the Dutch podcast Nieuwe Economen [New Economists], in which we interview PhD candidates in different subfields of economics on their PhD research.
