JOOST M. E. PENNINGS

Joost M.E. Pennings received his PhD in marketing and finance summa cum laude from the Wageningen University in 1998. After winning the Niels Stensen Award for his PhD thesis entitled "The Market for Hedging Services: A Marketing-Finance Approach" he became an associate professor in the department of marketing at the Wageningen University, and head of that Department in 1999. He was appointed Associate Professor in the Office for Futures & Options Research in Department of Agricultural & Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the Provost Faculty Excellence Program in 2001 and became the AST Distinguished professor in futures markets at the Wageningen University in that same year. Dr. Pennings’ research has been published in a wide range of academic journals among others: American Journal of Agricultural Economics, European Financial Management, International Journal of Research in Marketing, Journal of Banking & Finance, Journal of Business, Journal of Economic Psychology, Journal of Futures Markets, Journal of International Money & Finance and Management Science. Pennings’ research deals with understanding revealed economic behavior by studying the decision-making behavior of real decision-makers in financial markets. Both descriptive and normative models are developed in order to explain and predict behavior. Special attention is given to decision-making under uncertainty. The research is quantitative and rooted in economics, finance, management sciences, and psychology theory.
