Emmanuel Mamatzakis is a Professor of Finance at the Birkbeck Business School, University of London, specializing in Accounting and Finance. He serves as Program Director of MSc Accounting and Finance and Director of the Accounting and Finance Research Centre. His academic leadership extends to the Accounting and Finance Subject Area Research Cluster where he acts as Lead Researcher.
His educational background includes a DPhil in Economics from the University of London (Queen Mary College, 1999), an MSc in Economics from the University of Warwick (1994), and a BSc in Economics from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (1993).
Mamatzakis' research focuses on empirical studies in accounting, banking, finance, and public finance with significant real-world economic impact. His primary research areas include International Macroeconomics, Applied Econometrics, and the intersection of culture, institutions, and financial reporting quality. Recent work examines how household debt behavior changed during the pandemic, the relationship between environmental performance and financial reporting, and the effects of board diversity on financial misreporting.
His publication trends reveal a strong emphasis on methodological sophistication, particularly Bayesian modeling and neural networks applications to financial problems. Recent articles demonstrate growing interest in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, cultural influences on financial reporting, and the economic consequences of geopolitical events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
