Hi,
I am a reseacher interested in the (historical) role of financial institutions in trade, economic development, and systemic stability.
I am an Assistant Professor in Economic and Social History at the Institute for Economic and Social History at WU Vienna, and an Associate Researcher at the Faculty of History at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom.
Thank you for your interest, and welcome to my page.
Will.
