'Combining economics and business history'Since the Business History @ Erasmus platform was launched in early 2010, a growing number of scholars working in the Erasmus University community have joined the initiative to meet, discuss and share their interest in Business History. However, we felt it was time to share their research interests and current work with a broader audience through a series of interviews with scholars involved with Business History @ Erasmus. First up is Abe de Jong, professor of corporate finance and corporate governance at the Erasmus Research Institute of Management and one of the founders of the platform.
