PROFESSOR, AUTHOR, SPEAKER.



Neeltje van Horen is a professor of financial economics at the University of Amsterdam and a senior research advisor at the Bank of England. Her research focuses on the interplay between the financial sector and the real economy, particularly during times of crisis and uncertainty. Her work has been published in leading academic journals, and she is a sought-after speaker. Neeltje has also worked at the World Bank and De Nederlandsche Bank and has been a visiting scholar at institutions such as the EBRD, IMF, and Chicago Fed.

Although she excelled in her demanding career, Neeltje faced challenges familiar to many: self-doubt, stress, and the relentless pressures of modern life. Determined to find a better way forward, she turned to neuroscience and psychology. By exploring how her brain functioned, she discovered that small, intentional changes dramatically improved her life. This personal journal inspired her to translate cutting-edge research and personal insights into practical tools, helping others overcome their own struggles.

In her debut book, Ignite, Neeltje makes complex research accessible and actionable for everyday life. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and economics, she blends scientific insights with relatable stories and practical tools. As a writer and speaker, she guides readers and audiences to build resilience, unlock their potential, and create positive, lasting change.

Neeltje divides her time between London, where she lives with her partner, his children, and their two cats, and Amsterdam.

Bank ownership database


This database contains full ownership information over the period 1995-2013 for 5,498 banks active in 139 countries. It includes for each bank its year of establishment, its year of inactivity, its ownership (foreign or domestic) and, if foreign owned, the home country of the majority shareholder. This is the updated version of the previous Bank Ownership Database that covered the period 1995-2009.

The database is compiled by Stijn Claessens and Neeltje van Horen. When using the database please cite: Claessens and Van Horen, 2015, “The Impact of the Global Financial Crisis on Banking Globalization,” IMF Economic Review, 63, 868-918.

For detailed description of how the database was constructed, see Claessens and Van Horen, 2014, “Foreign Banks: Trends and Impact,” Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 46(1), 295-326.

As with many databases, the data come “as is” and the authors nor the institutions to which they are or have been associated accept responsibilities for possible inaccuracies.
