Hannah Zillessen

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics at KU Leuven and an affiliated researcher at the Institute for Fiscal Studies. I received my PhD in economics from the University of Oxford in 2023.

My research focuses on topics in labour economics, household finance and family economics. I am interested in the impact of state uncertainty on long term investments, career choice, and family formation.   


I will be on maternity leave from mid April 2026. For questions about the Labour Economics course D0E35A , please contact Koen Declercq.
