Johannes Weytjens

I'm a physics-trained PhD researcher in economics at Ghent University. I develop new approaches to understand household financial behavior, in particular the consumption response to labour income changes, through the lens of high-frequency transaction data. My supervisors are Kris Boudt and Koen Schoors.

My research aims to shed new light on challenges in household finance with great societal relevance. For instance, in my role as economist in residence at BNP Paribas Fortis, I transform banking data into actionable insights that bridge the gap between academic research and real-world impact.
