Michiel Gerritse

Dr. Michiel Gerritse is an Associate Professor of Strategy Economics at the Erasmus School of Economics, part of Erasmus University Rotterdam. His research focuses on international trade, urban economics, policy analysis, and development economics. He explores topics such as industrial transfer policies in China, urban hierarchy dynamics in Italy, and the socio-economic impacts of globalization.

His work often bridges macroeconomic trends with micro-level analyses of firms and workers. Notable areas include the effects of foreign acquisitions on wages, the role of federal contracts in US urban development, and the interplay between trade and institutional change in developing economies.

Dr. Gerritse has published extensively on urbanization patterns, including studies on Italian urban hierarchies and pandemic-related transmission dynamics in cities. His research also addresses trade-induced specialization challenges in regions like those south of the Suez Canal.

Though no specific awards are listed, his contributions to spatial economics and policy analysis are evident through his prolific output. He maintains teaching responsibilities (7 listed courses) and engages in ancillary academic activities (2 noted).
