He has published more than 100 articles in international journals and he is inside 5 % in the ranking of the investigators most quoted in Economics (REPEC) on a global scale, that gives us an indication of the impact of its investigative activity.

 Cars Hommes

Cars HOMMES obtained his PhD in Mathematical Economics in 1991 at University of Groningen. From 1999, he is a professor in Economic Dynamics at University of Amsterdam. In 1998 he obtained prestigious Pionier-grant of the Netherlands Organization of Scientific Research (NWO) to found the Center for Nonlinear Dynamics in Economics and Finance (CeNDEF). Cars Hommes is a world expert in not linear dynamics, evolutionary dynamics,  behavioral economics and finance, expectations and learning, limited rationality and experimental economics, being particularly known for his work with William Brock (University of Wisconsin, USA), in the development of a theory of heterogeneous expectations and its applications in economy and finance. The group CeNDEF have contributed in particular to test the hypothesis of rational expectations both at empirical and experimental level. From 2002, Cars Hommes is one of the publishers of Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, and member of the editorial board of Macroeconomic Dynamics, Journal of Nonlinear Science, Computational Economics, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and the Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination.

He has published in journals like Econometrica, Review of Financial Studies and the Journal of Mathematical Economics. Cars Hommes is inside 5 % in the ránking of the investigators most quoted in Economy (REPEC) on a global scale, that gives us an indication of the big impact of its investigative activity.
