BERTRAND Jérémie

Jérémie Bertrand is Professor of Finance at IÉSEG School of Management. He holds a Ph.D. in Management Science, specializing in Finance, from the University of Lille, and a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) from the University of Strasbourg. His research focuses on banking and behavioral finance, with particular interests in the relationship between banks and firms (relationship lending), access to credit, and borrower discouragement. His work examines how trust, culture, discrimination, and psychological biases shape financial decisions and influence firms’ financing behavior. He also studies gender-related issues in credit markets, including women-led firms’ access to finance and the role of prejudices in lending decisions. More broadly, his research explores how institutional, social, and behavioral factors affect financial intermediation, lending conditions, and economic outcomes across countries.

He is also a member of Lille Economie Management (LEM), a joint research unit (no. 9221) of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).
