Dr Tony Antoniou had his D.Phil, which he was awarded in 1987, removed by the University of York when allegations of plagiarism were upheld. He has been sacked by Durham University for "misconduct".
The introduction to his thesis begins identically to that of a paper by an American academic. Much of it was lifted directly from a paper which was written in 1983 by an American student and two Israeli academics.
A spokeswoman for Durham University said: "A disciplinary tribunal met on 8th February to consider two charges of misconduct against Tony Antoniou.
"Those charges comprised an allegation of plagiarism relating to a research article, which had been investigated through Durham's internal procedures, and issues relating to the withdrawal, following its own investigation of plagiarism, by the University of York D.Phil qualification awarded to Antoniou in 1987.
"The tribunal upheld the charges, concluded that the misconduct concerned amounted to 'good cause' for dismissal under Statute 39 and recommended dismissal.
"The vice-chancellor has acted in accordance with this recommendation and Tony Antoniou is no longer employed by the university."
Prof Antoniou joined Durham in 1998 as Professor of Finance and was chairman of the Department of Economics and Finance.
He became Dean of the Business School in January 2002 when the Department of Economics and the Business School were merged.
