During his PhD, Jordy was a Short-Stay Visiting Fellow at MIT Sloan School of Management (US) and he did a research project in collaboration with the temporary work and human resource consulting services company Randstad Holding.
His research interests are mainly in the field of applied microeconomics at the intersection of labour economics with spatial economics. He has analysed panel administrative data and longitudinal survey data in policy-relevant research. Jordy applies micro econometric models to answer research questions related to workers' labour market outcomes and housing outcomes. Jordy's research focuses on job loss, local labour markets, gender gaps, COVID-19 impacts, social housing, commuting, flow-based clustering, agglomeration economies and the urban wage premium.
