Research interests
Although Professor Bátiz-Lazo has made contributions to the business and economic history of Latin America (mainly Mexico) and Spain, as well as to accounting history, his main area of research has been the impact of computer technology on retail banking. This has included touching on contemporary issues around the cashless economy, retail payments, globalization and international trade. Research is currently under way into the emergence of FinTech as a global phenomenon.
