Topics:
We are interested in research that will be of interest to scholars in more than one of our core disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- The impact of the structure of the legal system, including legal origins, procedural rules, and the legal environment in general, on the evolution of financial contracts, financial markets, business enterprises, and business groups.
- The impact of legal and market institutions, including accounting, on financial markets and corporate actions, innovation, economic growth, and stability.
- The coevolution of the legal rules and market institutions that govern financial sector activity,that activity itself, and the nature of the broader economy and financial markets.
- The regulation, organization, and performance of financial institutions.
- The relationships between the structure and performance of financial institutions, the performance of these institutions, and the overall performance of financial markets and economies.
- The interplay between legal rules, accounting regulations, corporate governance, firm performance, cost of equity and debt capital, financial market performance, and economic performance.
- The political economy of regulation of corporate governance, financial institutions, and financial markets.
- Accounting, finance, and legal issues related to ownership and property.
