Roger Prudon
I am a post-doctoral fellow in the Retirement and Disability Policy Research Center at the National Bureau of Economics Research (NBER). In August 2024, I will join Lancaster University as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor). My research focuses on the interplay between (mental) health, employment and disability insurance.
I did my PhD at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the Tinbergen Institute under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Pierre Koning and Dr. Paul Muller. You can find my CV here.
