Starting from the puzzling situation of the US, and above all, the UK financial markets, this paper tries to supplement the current explanations of the constant dominance of these two financial centers. Law has specially mattered in this respect. Rather than the superior economic efficiency of UK-US financial law, as the “Law and finance” theory de...

Starting from the “Law and Finance” theory, this paper reverts its argument. Rather than demonstrating the superior economic efficiency of UK-US financial law, this paper explores how, in the past two decades, the financial industry, and especially the securities and bonds markets, has experienced a growing trend towards an implicit vertical integr...

Cet article présente l’une des causes déjà identifiées de la crise du crédit, le rôle des agences de notation, à travers un aspect souvent méconnu : l’analyse de l’influence du droit sur l’activité de titrisation et, partant, sur les phénomènes déclencheurs de la crise. Les agences de notation sont en effet critiquées pour la qualité de l’informati...

Financial rating agencies are key actors of financial markets. Their different ratings are usually pre-conditions for issuing securities or bonds. If they assess the financial viability of the financial instruments issued, they also assess the soundness of the legal arrangements used. Thus, taking the law into account is a key element of their asse...

L’année 2004 a été marquée par de profonds bouleversements dans le droit français des télécommunications, avec la transposition du deuxième « paquet » de législation communautaire et l’achèvement de la banalisation du statut de l’opérateur historique, France Télécom. Le nouveau régime ainsi créé est plus souple quant aux conditions d’entrée sur les...

In 2004, the French legal framework applicable to telecommunications has experienced tremendous changes. The aims of these reforms were to transpose into domestic law the second European Telecommunications 2002 package and to complete the total change of France Telecom, the incumbent operator. On the one hand, this new legal framework fosters free...

Internet Regulation : from Illusion back to Reality For a long time, Internet led us to believe in a world of total freedom where self-regulation would be the universal virtual panacea. However, we now see a return to more traditional concepts of network regulation : in reality, self-regulation seems to be an extremely controlled system — Internet...
