Kwaak, dr. C.G.F. (Christiaan) van derAssociate Professor My research focuses on the macroeconomic impact that unconventional monetary and fiscal policies have in mitigating financial crises and on long-run financial stability. I investigate this within New Keynesian DSGE models, which allow me to not only investigate policies that have been implemented in the real world, but also counterfactual policies. Earlier research focused on the impact of such policies after a financial crisis had broken out, whereas my current research focuses on the extent to which (un)conventional monetary policies increase or decrease the probability of such a crisis happening in the first place, and how these policies affect the macroeconomy in the short- and long-run.

Mees, prof. dr. R.A.J. (Roland)Professor of Practice of Business Ethics Roland Mees is an expert on the motivational obstacles to taking sustainable action and pathways for individuals, institutions and humanity. As a professor of Practice of Business Ethics, he works in close collaboration with professor of Financial Ethics, Boudewijn de Bruin. Together with the other professors at the EE&F department that focus on topics such as sustainable development, sustainable banking & finance and corporate governance, Mees contributes to setting up, innovating and carrying out education in the field of business ethics.

Apart from his educational contributions, he takes part in research projects within the faculty and develops his own research in the field of business ethics. Currently, Mees is working on this call for contributions to a special issue of the Cambridge Forum journal series, together with co-editors Dirk Bezemer and Cynthia Williams.

Until mid 2025, Roland Mees was a director of Sustainable Finance at ING Wholesale Banking, where he mainly focused on the moral practice of sustainability, for example when granting Sustainability-Linked Loans to corporate customers. Mees has gained over 35 years of experience in the banking sector, not only at ING, but also at ABN Amro and Triodos Bank. While pursuing his career in a business environment, he felt the need to reflect more deeply on the pragmatic reality of the organizations he worked for. Thus, Mees sought to deepen his academic knowledge with a master’s in Philosophy in Business at Utrecht University, followed by a PhD at the Ethics Institute of Utrecht University. Both alongside his full-time job at ING.

Stein, C.L. (Claire), MScPh.D. candidate in Development Economics Aspiring Development Economist & Gender Equality Advocate with a commitment to translating research into action for social change.

As a Ph.D. candidate in Development Economics at the University of Groningen, I use experimental methods to design and evaluate an intervention aimed at improving women's economic and social outcomes in Northern Vietnam. Additionally, I investigate how cultural models of agency affect these outcomes, as well as behavioral aspects such as willingness to compete and preferences for redistribution.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have over three years of experience in implementation research in development contexts. With a focus on Southeast Asia, notably Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, while also engaging in diverse projects on a global scale, I have worked across diverse areas and collaborated with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, encompassing grassroots organizations, Civil Society Organizations, NGOs, UN bodies, governmental agencies, and donors.

In doing so, I go beyond purely economic explanations and I study the role of cultural factors such as norms, values, and identities.
