He has been appointed as a research fellow at the freshly launched Institute for Economic Analysis of Decision-Making (INSTEAD) at the University of Sheffield for the period of 1 October 2013 to 30 September 2016, and will remain affiliated with ROA during this period.

Bert obtained his Ph.D. in November 2010 from the University of Leuven (Belgium), and has been a visiting researcher at Warwick University.
His main research areas include economics and well-being, labour economics, applied microeconometrics and development economics.
