Lebenslauf

Marjolein J.W. Harmsen - van Hout wurde 1979 in den Niederlanden geboren. Sie studierte Ökonometrie (Spezialisierungen: Ökonometrie und Mathematische Ökonomik) und Volkswirtschaftslehre (Spezialisierung: Internationale Wettbewerbspolitik) an der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Betriebswirtschaft der Universität Maastricht. Sie graduierte am 29. April 2003 mit ihrer Diplomarbeit “Networks: Formation Models and Efficiency Issues”. Seit dem 1. Mai 2003 arbeitete sie an ihrer Doktorarbeit zum Thema “Online Consumer-to-Consumer Communication Networks: an Economic Exploration of their Formation and Value” im Fachbereich Marketing derselben Universität. Sie wurde betreut von Prof. Dr. Ir. Benedict G.C. Dellaert (Erasmus Universität Rotterdam, Niederlande) und Prof. Dr. P. Jean-Jacques Herings (Fachbereich Volkswirtschaftslehre). Seit dem 27. Oktober 2008 arbeitet sie als Post-Doktorandin und Habilitandin am Institut für Future Energy Consumer Needs and Behavior (FCN) der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften, welches einen Teil des E.ON Energy Research Centers an der RWTH Aachen bildet.
