Geranda Notten holds a
Master in International Economic
Studies from the University of
Maastricht (The Netherlands). In
August 2007, she has submitted her
dissertation Measuring and Managing
Poverty Risks to the independent
Assessment Committee. She expects to
obtain her doctoral degree this
spring. She is currently working as
a researcher for the Maastricht
Graduate School of Governance in a
project on multidimensional poverty
for UNICEF in Congo Brazzaville.
Geranda’s research interests are in
the field of poverty, inequality,
consumption smoothing and social
protection systems. Within these
themes, she has worked as a research
and consultant in national and
cross-national comparative contexts,
involving developed, transition and
developing economies. Together with
Franziska Gassmann she has performed
an evaluation of Russian child
benefits in terms of targeting
efficiency and poverty reduction. In
another project, she analyzed the
relation between poverty risk and
consumption smoothing abilities in
Russia (joint work with Denis de
Crombgugghe). She also developed a
conceptual framework to explore
context specific smoothing
arrangements. Together with Chris de
Neubourg she has been working on a
series of papers involving a cross
national poverty comparison of the
EU member states and the US using
the EU and US official poverty
measurement.
Geranda has been a visiting fellow
at CEPS/INSTEAD in Luxembourg, the
Wiener Center for Social Policy at
Harvard University as well as
National Poverty Center of the
University of Michigan. She
participated in consultancy teams
working on poverty and social
protection assignments financed by
the World Bank, UNICEF and GTZ.
Since 2001, she has been a tutor in
the problem based learning system of
Maastricht University teaching
bachelor level courses such as
micro, macro and international
economics as well as a master level
course on social protection. She has
also been supervising Master and
Bachelor theses.
