Reinoud Joosten

Reinoud Joosten studied econometrics at the Catholic University of Brabant, now called Tilburg University. He graduated in mathematical economics writing a thesis on the computation of economic equilibria in a pure exchange framework. His thesis supervisor was Dolf Talman a leading scholar in this field.

After his graduation he went to the State University of Limburg, now Maastricht University, to do a Ph.D. on a joint project between the Mathematics Department of the faculty of General Sciences and the Maastricht Economic Research institute on Innovation and Technology (MERIT) a research institute of the Faculty of Economics headed by professor Luc Soete. The research project involved ex-ante only evolutionary game theory, but ex-post also cooperative game theory, stochastic game theory and general equilibrium theory. Reinoud’s supervisors during the Ph.D. were Hans Peters, Frank Thuijsman and Koos Vrieze. All have distinguished track records in the specialized fields of cooperative game theory, microeconomics and stochastic game theory.

After completing the doctoral thesis, Reinoud received a post-doc scholarship from the newly founded research school of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, called METEOR. Physically, he remained at the MERIT institute. During this scholarship he prepared several papers contained in his thesis for publication. He then received another scholarship in order to do research into stochastic learning processes from mathematical psychology.

The next stop was the Max Planck Institute for Research into Economic Systems in Jena, Germany. Here, Reinoud obtained three consecutive scholarships from the Evolutionary Economics Group headed by Ulrich Witt to do research on evolutionary game theory and economics.

By the end of 2001, Reinoud joined the team of professor Mark Wouters at the department of Finance and Accounting of the University of Twente to become an assistant professor in economics. In the year 2003, Reinoud also became a member of the Faculty Counsel of the School of Business, Public Administration and Technology.
