Federal Reserve Governor Daniel K. Tarullo, At The Association Of American Law Schools 2014 Midyear Meeting, Washington, D.C. - Corporate Governance And Prudential Regulation

Date 09/06/2014

Let me begin by applauding the organizers for encouraging collaboration between corporate and financial law scholars. Indeed, it is striking how much of the insightful legal scholarship that followed the financial crisis has come from corporate law scholars. On reflection, this outcome is not really surprising. After all, much corporate law scholarship revolves around incentive structures, agency costs, and asymmetric information flows--all matters of great relevance to financial regulation. Furthermore, legislatures and courts have a long history of debating, and sometimes adopting, special corporate law and governance rules for financial institutions.
