Law & Finance

The cluster Law & Finance brings together expertise from all departments to address central, particularly interdisciplinary issues, including the effectiveness of different regulatory approaches to financial markets and institutions as implemented in different jurisdictions in recent years, and the impact of consumer protection legislation in the financial sector. Corporate finance issues are addressed in cooperation with the departments Financial Intermediation and Financial Markets.

The department will be closely linked with the DFG Kolleg research group on "Foundations of Law and Finance" established in 2017.
