Thu Nguyen

I am a Lecturer in Finance at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. My teaching spans courses such as Alternative Investments, Applied Investments, Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management, and Blockchain and Decentralized Finance. 

My research focuses on asset pricing. I am an empiricist interested in the linkages between financial markets and the real economy. My research explores trends in financial markets, such as market concentration, institutional ownership, and factor investing and examines how these trends link to frictions that distort asset pricing and generate risk premia. 

I obtained my PhD in Finance at the Amsterdam Business School, University of Amsterdam, an MPhil in Economics at Tinbergen Institute, specializing in Finance and Econometrics, and a BSc in Econometrics and Operations Research at Maastricht University (Honors and Cum Laude).
