Clement Bellet

Clément Bellet is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Marketing at the Erasmus School of Economics, Erasmus University Rotterdam. His research bridges behavioral economics and marketing, focusing on how social dynamics influence consumer behavior and firm outcomes.

His primary research interests include:

• Gender and Consumer Markets: Examining gender representation in advertising and consumer purchases.
• Consumption and Inequality: Investigating how inequality shapes consumer preferences, luxury markets, and status signaling.
• Customer Satisfaction and Worker Well-Being: Studying emotional labor and the link between employee happiness, customer satisfaction, and firm performance.

Bellet employs causal inference methods, large-scale datasets, and field experiments to analyze these topics. His recent publications explore the impact of the #MeToo movement on gender-stereotyped product purchases, the effect of inequality on consumption needs among the poor, and the causal relationship between employee happiness and productivity. His work has been published in leading journals such as Management Science, Journal of Public Economics, and Journal of the European Economic Association, and has received media attention from outlets like The Economist, Forbes, and The Atlantic.

His research demonstrates consistent trends in using high-frequency, real-world data to uncover behavioral responses to social and economic shifts, particularly in consumer markets and workplace dynamics.

Bellet is actively engaged in scholarly communication and has contributed to the World Happiness Report. He supervises research and collaborates with scholars across institutions, though specific advisees are not listed in the provided texts.
