After completing his MA and PhD at the University of Amsterdam, he lived and worked as a researcher in Budapest, Hungary (1992-1999). He served on the board of the European Association for Comparative Economic Studies (1996-2000) and the Netherlands' department of SIETAR, the Society for Intercultural Education, Training And Research (2003-2004). He received the 1994 EACES Award for the best European dissertation in comparative economics and the 2003 Senior Award for Excellence in Education of UM Faculty of Economics and Business.
