dr. M (Michiel) van Dijk
Senior researcher
I am a senior researcher in the international policy department at Wageningen Economic Research. I am also a guest research scholar (out of office) at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).
I try to combine my economic and quantitative background with experience from working and living in various developing countries to analyze research questions related to economic growth, food and nutrition security, and climate change. As tackling these large and complex issues requires a multi-disciplinary and integrated approach, I use a variety of tools, including global simulation models, in particular our in-house computable general equilibrium model MAGNET, spatial microsimulation, econometric analysis and GIS, and like to collaborate with agronomists, hydrologists and other scientists from different fields.
