Ralph De Haas is the Director of Research at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and an adjunct Professor of Finance at KU Leuven.
He is also a CEPR Research Fellow in both the ‘Banking and Corporate Finance’ and the ‘Climate Change and the Environment’ programs; a member of the CEPR’s Research and Policy Network on Sustainable Finance; a Fellow at the European Banking Center; and a Research Associate at the ZEW–Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research. I serve as an Associate Editor at the Journal of Banking & Finance.
Ralph de Haas’ research lies at the intersection of empirical banking and development economics. I am particularly interested in firms’ and households’ access to financial services; the stability aspects of global banking; finance and green growth; and the role of gender in the economy.
