Laura Rosendahl Huber

Associate Professor

Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University

Laura Rosendahl Huber is an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Department of Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University.

Laura’s research explores human capital development and its impact on entrepreneurial decision-making and performance, with a focus on entrepreneurship training, teams, and policy evaluation. She also investigates how personal characteristics, such as gender and professional background, influence strategic decision-making. A key interest is understanding gender inequality in entrepreneurship and identifying ways to close the gender gap. Most of Laura’s work is based on field experiments (Randomized Control Trials(RCT)) that she has conducted in collaboration with policy makers in the Netherlands and the UK as well as educational institutions in several European countries. This method is becoming increasingly popular in the fields of Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Strategy and is often referred to as the gold standard. She holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Amsterdam. Before joining RSM, she worked as a Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition (Munich, Germany) and as a Visiting Fellow at the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard (Boston, USA).
