Marina Gertsberg
Assistant Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Finance
I am an (Advanced) Assistant Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Finance at the University of Melbourne.
Research Interests: Gender bias in evaluations, Corporate Governance, Empirical Corporate Finance
A central theme in my research is that it is enough for a few people who are gatekeepers to be biased against women to introduce a gender bias into the whole system. In my work, I aim to understand where the gender bias is in the system and how to redress it.
