Andries de Grip

Andries de Grip is Professor of Economics at the Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA), School of Business and Economics (SBE), Maastricht University. He is also a Research Fellow at the Graduate School of Business and Economics (GSBE), IZA (Bonn), and Netspar (Tilburg University). He serves on the Labour Market Committee of the Dutch Social Economic Council (SER) and the Scientific Advisory Board of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB), Germany.

He earned his PhD cum laude from the Free University of Amsterdam. His educational background in economics forms the foundation of his extensive research in labor market dynamics.

His research centers on labour economics with a focus on training, skill mismatches, sustainable employability, human resource management, labour mobility, retirement, and manpower forecasting. He investigates how skills are acquired and become obsolete, how firms manage human capital, and how structural changes affect employment outcomes. His work often employs advanced empirical methods such as discrete choice experiments and longitudinal cohort studies.

The recent publications highlight a consistent focus on training, employability, retirement, and labour market behavior. Themes include the impact of training vouchers, informal learning, sustainable employability frameworks, personality in recruitment, and financial decision-making in retirement. His work bridges economics, organizational behavior, and public policy, with strong methodological rigor.
