Biography

Hendrik (Rick) Verhagen researches the interactions of law and economy, focusing on both diachronic (Roman law) and synchronic (comparative law, private international law) perspectives. His research employs analytical tools derived from social systems theory, particularly the ideas of Luhmann, as well as social evolutionary theory in relation to law and economics. Rick has published extensively on historical and comparative private international law aspects covering a wide range of subjects, including secured transactions, assignment of receivables, agency, trusts, contracts, and unjust enrichment. Notable publications include works on the historical evolution of credit security in Roman law and contributions to the Asser series concerning international property law. His expertise encompasses Roman law, comparative law, private international law, trusts, property law, and banking law.
