Dr Sebastian Gryglewicz (1977) has been appointed Professor of Finance Theory at Erasmus School of Economics. In his research, Sebastian Gryglewicz applies economic principles to model financial markets and financial decisions of firms. He concentrates on finance theory as a tool to assess the economic effects of financial innovations and regulations.
Finance theory at the forefront of developments in the financial sector
Finance theory is at the forefront of developments in the financial sector. These developments are related to the constant influx of financial innovations devised by the financial sector and to new regulations implemented by authorities to contain externalities generated by this sector. Sebastian Gryglewicz’s research agenda over the next few years will focus on studying the economic effects of financial innovations and regulations. Two areas will be most prominent. The first one is to investigate the innovations brought about by the rise of financial technology, or fintech. The second is to study how financial intermediaries such as investment funds and banks, and regulation thereof, affect financial decisions in firms.
