معرفی
Dr Joris Hoste is a Research Associate (Research Fellow) at the University of Cambridge's Faculty of Economics, funded by an ESRC fellowship at the Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CTIP). His work bridges empirical microeconomics with policy-relevant trade and macroeconomic analysis.
His academic background includes:
- PhD in Economics, KU Leuven (2023)
- Master's in Business Engineering, KU Leuven
- Bachelor's in Business Engineering, KU Leuven
- Visiting Researcher, Harvard University Department of Economics
Hoste's research examines how international trade mechanisms and macroeconomic shocks affect heterogeneous populations. His work combines industrial organization frameworks with macroeconomic modeling to analyze distributional consequences of trade policies and exchange rate movements, particularly focusing on consumer welfare across income groups and geographic market segmentation patterns. Methodologically, he leverages large-scale microdata from EU and US markets to identify causal mechanisms.
His recent publications reveal a cohesive research program investigating the microfoundations of trade policy impacts. The 2024 depreciation study demonstrates how currency fluctuations differentially affect rich and poor consumers through product-level price channels, while the market segmentation paper identifies structural barriers in transatlantic markets. This work establishes critical links between firm-level pricing behavior and aggregate welfare outcomes.
Key recognition includes:
- ESRC Fellowship at Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CTIP)
Hoste contributes to Cambridge's Empirical Microeconomics research group and teaches International Financial Systems (PIIB Paper 2) during Michaelmas term. His ESRC-funded fellowship enables deep analysis of inclusive trade policy design, with active collaboration through CTIP's policy engagement framework. He maintains research infrastructure through the Faculty of Economics (Room 95) and shares outputs via his academic website.
