Mercati Finanziari e Responsabilità Civile
Ciclo di Seminari di approfondimento professionale
Diretto da F. Denozza, G. Ferrarini e P. Giudici

La dinamica dei mercati finanziari ha proposto numerose nuove fattispecie di responsabilità civile, rispetto alle quali ferve il dibattito dottrinale e professionale anche alla luce delle pronunce giurisprudenziali.
Ciascun seminario esamina una specifica casistica allo scopo di fornire al professionista e all’operatore i necessari strumenti conoscitivi e valutativi del proprio e dell’altrui comportamento.
Il volume di fonti e materiali costituisce l’imprescindibile supporto didattico dei seminari.

"Bank Regulation in Crisis"
Cycle of lectures: Prof. Geoffrey P. Miller (New York University - Law School)

The lectures presented the fundamental nature of the banking firm as an institution that offers payment system services and acts as a financial intermediary. The lectures considered the role of banks in the economy, including their interaction with central banks in the conduct of monetary policy; the instability of the banking firm due to high levels of demand or short-term debt; and the fundamental rationales and strategies for banking regulation. The class then turned to the problem of bank crises. Five prior crises were discussed -- the Great Depression of the 1930s; the U.S. Savings & Loan debacle of the 1980s; the Japanese "bubble economy" of 1986-1990; the failure of Long Term Capital Management; and the Asian Flu of the 1990s. The origin of the current financial turmoil in the U.S. subprime housing market was analysed, considering the worldwide credit market crisis of 2007-2009 with a view to understanding what happened and to evaluating proposals for reform.

“Cases in Securities Litigation and Corporate Governance”

Conference organised by the Centre for Law and Finance and the Free University of Bozen (CRELE).

The aim of the conference is to bring together academics and securities litigation practitioners to discuss the law and economics of some of the most significant US and European recent cases concerning securities law and corporate governance. Court decisions will be discussed from different angles and national perspectives, in order either to outline a common core of judicial trends in this area or to highlight differences both at transatlantic and European level. The format is the following: presentation of the relevant case, launch of the discussion by two commentators, general discussion. A translation into English of the cases to be discussed will be circularized in advance among the participants.
