HHB is glad to welcome Dr. Roy Van der Weide – Economist on the Poverty and Inequality Research team within the Development Research Group of the World Bank – among the HHB Fellows.

Roy recently assumed the responsibility of leading the poverty and inequality mapping research within the department. His research is also concerned with the empirics of inequality of opportunity and poverty reduction, axiomatic approaches to income measurement, spatial econometrics, and the transmission of price inflation and volatility.

He holds a PhD from the University of Amsterdam, where his research focused on time-series econometrics and economic dynamics with applications to finance.
