Coordination Research Project – Corporate Governance

Governing Corporate Europe Post-Crisis. Facts, Context and Reforms”
A Research Project sponsored by Emittenti Titoli S.p.A.

Corporate governance is still at the centre of the policy debate in the wake of the financial crisis. Policy proposals are becoming increasingly pervasive and, sometimes, intrusive; however, they are often based on a conventional wisdom and weak anecdotal evidence. The aim of this European inter-university project is to analyze some pivotal topics in Corporate Governance, analysing both pre- and post-crisis periods from a law & economics perspective. The outcome of this project will be a volume, collecting a number of papers written by some of the European experts in the corporate governance field. The volume will be presented at an international conference in November 2012.
