European securities regulation and corporate governance are test cases for determining whether efficient rules will be obtained by dynamic competitive processes or centralised regulatory action. The 2004 Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MIFID) belies the diagnosis that Europe may be experiencing ‘regulatory fatigue’. On the contrary, an important policy change has been ushered in, as MIFID is intended to shape a pan-European retail culture through law. In this issue, Niamh Moloney undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the Directive, emphasising that the relationship between law and investor activity is still unproven.
