Who Am I?
''You are what you eat and I like nuts. Oh well.''

I studied macro economics in Amsterdam, was a cold warrior, then an East Asia "expert" in the Dutch ministry of economic affairs. I went on to OECD in Paris, where I handled export credits, a subject very few people know or care about, but I loved it. From there on, I worked for a very large pension fund as chief economist, later as Public Affairs officer (that's a nice way to say lobbyist). I am nominally retired now, but I created my own business, advising a number of clients in the pension sector.

What am I interested in?

 * Practical economics
 * Behavioral finance
 * Pensions in general
 * Pension system design
 * Pension fund governance
 * Export credit and export credit insurance
 * Coins of the period 1500 - date
 * Economic and financial history
