Gertjan Verdickt

Welcome

I am an Assistant Professor of Finance (Lecturer) at the University of Auckland, where I combine research and teaching to explore the intersection of finance and history. I earned my Ph.D. in Financial Economics in 2019 from the University of Antwerp, with research visits to prestigious institutions such as the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the University of Notre Dame, and Columbia Business School. Previously, I held academic positions as an assistant professor at KU Leuven and served as a visiting lecturer at Erasmus University Rotterdam and Monash Business School.

My academic journey is driven by a deep passion for financial history, complemented by behavioral finance and economic history interests. As an Assistant Editor at the Financial History Review, I actively shape scholarly dialogue in the field. My research has been published in leading journals such as Explorations in Economic History, The Journal of Economic History, and Economic History Review. Beyond academia, my work has captured the attention of broader audiences, with features in media outlets including Bloomberg, De Tijd, Forbes, Financieele Dagblad, Yahoo News, and the Financial Times, as well as television appearances on Kanaal Z and Aus Biz.

I am also the co-author of the book Investeren in Stijl, written with Jürgen Hanssens, and am currently pursuing the WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines. This diverse blend of academic and professional pursuits reflects my commitment to advancing knowledge and making complex financial topics accessible to scholarly and public audiences.
