Abstract
Nearly all governments permit some degree of rule-making authority for stock exchanges and other private regulatory actors in the corporate context, yet there is relatively little empirical research on how rules evolve over time in self- or private regulatory environments. This Seminar will examine the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) as a case study of how private regulation develops within a broader context of public capital markets regulation, and address the broader debate concerning how much regulatory authority governments should permit stock exchanges and other self-regulatory actors to have.Â
