S. Weiland

I am a 2nd year PhD candidate at Maastricht University, School of Business and Economics. My research explores the intersection of productivity and efficiency analysis, industrial organization, and complexity science. In particular, I develop theoretical models that conceptualize the production- and product spaces as interconnected, complex landscapes. I then use these models to investigate optimal patterns of search within these landscapes and explore questions related to system design and industry evolution. 

I am under the supervision of Jaap Bos from the Finance Department and Robin Cowan from the United Nations University (UNU-MERIT). 

I hold a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Management and Economics from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, followed by a Research Master’s (MSc) in Economic and Financial Research from Maastricht University.
