What happens on public securities markets, who regulates them and how can we come up with efficient rules?
What does it mean for a corporation to be "public" and how is management affected by institutional investors, proxy advisers, activist shareholders and regulators?We will explore these and other questions in our three-session intensive course. The first part of the course aims to provide students with a basic economic understanding of public markets, their purpose and their regulation. In the second part (second and third sessions), we will then address the most important topics of securities regulation from the perspective of a listed corporation and compare the basic regulatory approaches to them in the EU and the US , including:
* The Listing Process
* Corporate Disclosure
* Market Abuse (Insider trading, market manipulation)
* Corporate Governance of the listed company
* Control Transactions.Note that this course will _not_ require prior knowledge in economics or corporate finance! However, it is strongly recommended that participants have completed their exam in business law (Modulprüfung Unternehmensrecht) prior to registering for this course.
If you are an exchange student, please feel free to contact us to see whether this course makes sense as part of your curriculum.Hint: This course should make for a good introduction to studying EU capital markets law.
