Speech Of CFTC Commissioner Sharon Y. Bowen At George Washington Law, 2016 Manuel F. Cohen Lecture

Date 04/02/2016

Introduction

Thank you for the kind introduction and good afternoon everyone. It is a pleasure to be here at the George Washington University Law School.

I am honored to give the 2016 Manuel F. Cohen Lecture today as a memorial to Manny Cohen, who was a former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a legal scholar and a teacher here at GW for almost two decades. During his tenure as Chair of the SEC, the concept of the economic theory of regulation emerged. I have long been a student of law, economics and finance. It has shaped my approach as a securities and corporate lawyer for 33 years and my current role as a Commissioner. So, I feel especially at home so to speak, in delivering today’s lecture at the Center for Law, Economics and Finance. Let me first note that the views expressed today are my own, and do not reflect those of my fellow Commissioners or Commission staff.
