Hylke Vandenbussche
I am a full professor in international economics at the University of Leuven in Belgium. I started my academic career as a lecturer at the University of Cambridge, UK. After that I was a professor at the university of Louvain-la-neuve for several years, affiliated to the center CORE. In the US, I have been teaching as a visiting professor at Dartmouth College and I return regularly to the US for research stays and conference attendance. I am a member of the American Economic Association and the European Economic Association and a research fellow of CEPR, London. I serve on the scientific committee of the Midwest Trade conference and the European Trade study group (ETSG). I teach international trade and micro-economics. My research interests are on firm-level trade and the role of demand, input-output linkages, global value chains and the interaction with trade policy.
