Course contents
The course shall offer a thorough introduction to international and european capital markets regulation, endeavouring to offer a comparative overview of the regulatory framework for equity markets (herein included the regulation of listed companies, takeover bids, prospectuses, insider trading and market manipulation) in the global financial setting. Students shall be confronted with current European regulatory responses to market pressures and will be required to put them in context, assessing the cornerstones of the existing EU regime against the backdrop of (i) international and US experiences, responses to the recent financial crisis and (ii) the academic debate on Law and Finance. Significant emphasis shall be given also to an accurate historical analysis of the foundation of the current legal system and its evolution from the early days of the first continental Exchanges to the current post crisis regulation.
