Access Dr Giuliano Castellano's recently published paper 'Shedding Light on EU Financial Regulators: A Sociological and Psychological Perspective'.

Co-authored with Geneviève Helleringer (ESSEC Business School; University of Oxford - Institute of European and Comparative Law) and published by Hastings International and Comparative Law Review, the article adopts a socio-psychological perspective to approach financial regulation in the European Union.

While behavioural approaches to finance have expanded the understanding of markets’ dynamics, the analytical tools of behavioural sciences have been seldom applied to financial regulators.

Through the lenses of social-psychology, the article fills this gap and explores how financial regulators ‘think’.

Such an approach also allows offering new insights over current tensions between Eurozone and non-Eurozone countries, and sheds new light over the fractures, within regulators, that followed the UK’s decision to leave the EU (Brexit).
