Bio

Rafael Costa is Senior Researcher at the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI-KNAW) and affiliated researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and University of Antwerp. He holds a Master’s degree in Population Studies (2009) and a PhD in Social Sciences (2015) from the University of Louvain, Belgium. His research focuses on spatial demography, in particular the patterns of demographic change in space and time and the influence of space and networks on demographic behaviour and socioeconomic outcomes. He has applied this perspective in studies on fertility and family, internal and international migration, and residential segregation. Rafael’s works mainly draw on quantitative methods, microlevel administrative data, and fine-grained spatial data.
