Excited to share our new research examining how COVID-19, restrictions, and vaccinations heterogeneously impacted household spending in Belgium!

Using unique bank transaction data, we uncovered fascinating shifts in consumption drivers across pandemic waves.

In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.

As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.
