Law and Finance of Equity Markets
MGT 434
Course Description:
integrates securities regulation with market microstructure. Our primary focus is the impact of dealer versus auction markets on the trading costs borne by investors. The U.S. financial markets have been subject to sweeping reforms mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission in response to concerns that these issues raise, and reform continues at an unheralded pace. The costs and benefits of these reforms will be studied in both a financial and legal context. We will also discuss recent innovations such as the dual listing of stocks in different markets, the trade-off between the speed of execution and price improvement, and the legal organization of financial markets. THIS CLASS IS ALSO MGT 435a - 03.
