Peter Koudijs joined New York University Stern School of Business as a Professor of Finance in September 2024. He also serves as the Director of Stern’s Henry Kaufman Initiative in Financial History.
Before joining NYU Stern, Koudijs was Professor of Finance and History at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands (2020-2024) and Assistant and Associate Professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (2011-2020). His primary research interest is in financial history. By studying unique historical events and broader historical developments, he aims to generate valuable new insights that are relevant for finance today. He is particularly interested in corporate finance, financial intermediation, and market microstructure. His work has been published in the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics, and the Journal of Economic History. He also received Consolidator and Vidi grants from the European and Dutch Research Councils to pursue a large research project on the historical evolution of limited liability. Previously, he received a grant from the Institute of New Economic Thinking to study the financial underpinnings of slave plantations in the Dutch Guyanas in the 18th century. He earned an MSc in Economics and History from the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, and a PhD from Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain. He is married with three children.PhD
