UBC’s National Centre for Business Law will be hosting its annual TMX Lecture this coming Tuesday, May 29, 2012 from 12:30 – 1:30 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver. UBC law professor Cristie Ford will discuss “Financial Crisis and Regulatory Design”:
“Regulators, scholars and private sector actors are still working to make sense of the causes of the recent financial crisis. While many contributing factors are now quite well understood, one important factor has not yet garnered the attention it should: the formal structure and design of financial regulatory architecture. Financial regulation, like regulation generally, has been revolutionized over the last few decades. Across North America, Europe, Australia, and the UK, old-fashioned, bureaucratic “command-and-control” regulation has given way to what has come to be known as “flexible regulation.” Drawing on some examples from the recent financial crisis and looking especially at one of the essential founding versions of flexible regulation, Ian Ayres’s and John Braithwaite’s “responsive regulation,” this TMX Lecture considers the subtle but undeniable relationship between flexible regulation scholarship, and real-life financial disaster.”
