Portrait of David Oostveen

Introduction

I am a Master's student in International Economic Policy at Sciences Po Paris, with a focus on agricultural policy. My work combines quantitative analysis in R, Stata and EViews with policy research, report drafting and stakeholder engagement.

Prior to this, I studied Politics, Psychology, Law, and Economics at the University of Amsterdam. Majoring in Politics, I learned to look at social problems wholistically, combine different disciplines and think in solutions. Currently based in Brussels and open to policy and public affairs work.
