Clément Bellet

I am currently an Assistant Professor at Erasmus School of Economics, Rotterdam. I am also research associate at the London School of Economics and Political Science (Center for Economic Performance).

My work borrows from behavioral economics and marketing research to study how inequalities and social discrimination between and within groups affect consumer choices, individual decision making, and wellbeing. Do people value the size of their house relative to their neighbour's house? Do luxury products become necessary for the poor in unequal societies? To what extent do social hierarchies around racial, gender or caste identities influence how we spend?

More recently, I have also looked at the impact of employees' affective states on performance outcomes.

To answer these questions, I rely on large-scale consumer surveys, field experiments, scanner data, proprietary private sector data and online datasets collected using web-scraping techniques (i.e. ``Big Data") or made readily available (e.g. search, social media data).
