André holds a PhD in Economics and a Masters Degree in Econometrics, both from Erasmus University Rotterdam. His main research interests are in the areas of the determinants and consequences of entrepreneurship and in topics of industrial organisation. André has published in numerous journals including Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Journal of Business Venturing, Small Business Economics and Venture Capital. As a Visiting Fellow at the Bettany Centre, André’s research focuses on the interrelationships between levels of new venture entry and exit and average profits at the industry level. Another research topic of interest is the behaviour of informal investors. In investigating these matters André works closely with Professor Andrew Burke.
